heya - i know i have been going on quite a bit bout jobs. Thing is, with the amount of money my dad's gonna pay for me to go to uni (im an int'l student) im just really concerned bout getting a job afterwards coz it seems pretty pointless to me to kind of sit about u/ed or with a substandard job when i could probably just invest the money my dad would've paid for me to study
anyways - i was wondering wat ppl who do PPE degrees end up doing after graduation? like in terms of jobs
and dyu think it's necessary to do like a masters before i qualify for a good job?

PPE-ists don't normally get 2-3 essays a week. I get more than the PPE-ists in my college.

Well a very reliable source at oxford who reads ppe said "the only annoying thing about it is the heavy workload, 2 or even 3 essays per week".

It does depend on the college, I suppose. I get 2 extended essays per week whereas PPE-ists get 1 plus short questions.

2-3 essays p/wk will be pretty bad but hopefully i can handle it - im doing sociology, english literature and economics at A level so im pretty used to churning out essays (esp the nite b4 they're due!!) although im pretty sure the essays they'll expect at oxford will be of a much higher standard!!
oh well - guess all i can do then, is hope that my college is one where we get fewer essays.. and well jst hope for the best!!

As for the initial question, it depends on what university you're at. PPE itself is prestigious and has a good employability rate (the best out of all arts subjects here), but the institution is equally important - <mickey mouse course> at top uni usually makes you more employable than <good course> at a bottom-end one.
