Easy A - Levels

I did English lang/lit and gov and politics A Levels, Tek. They've been accused of being mickey mouse subjects. I'm now reading philosophy and theology. Is that a mickey mouse degree?

I don't care what your purpose was. Perhaps I didn't take note of it, however, because it was as "badly put" as your first point. *Chuckles*.

Anyway, the kind of people who do mickey mouse A Levels are, generally speaking, the kind of people who'll do a mickey mouse degree. Now why the f**k my parents have to fund Tracey (who incidentally will qualify for Government support) to do a degree in "Media Studies" from East London Polytechnic when she has EEU at A Level is beyond me. People like her are simply too stupid to be involved in any form of academic study, and it's a bloody disgrace that we taxpayers have to finance it. Will she benfit society? Hmm NO.

HAHAHA! It's "snobbish" to look down on "Film Studies" is it now? Oh deary, deary me. A sad, sad day for society indeed.

What on earth...? Do you have trouble differentiating "Wine Studies" at Westminster Uni from Philosophy at Oxford? Jesus....do you just not understand the issue at all?

That is so snobby and selfish.

Its all about the person not what bloody subjects you take.

That is so snobby and selfish. You dont consider people may not be as gifted as you, and for all the trying in the world wont get A's, that doesnt make hem any less deserving of a place at a Uni, so what if it is a poly.
Not everyone gets opportunity laid on a plate before them.
Why shouldn't "Tracy" want to better her future and do a degree in a subject that she likes. She will still come out with a degree, which can offer opportunities for management / teaching whatever.

At least she wont be on benefits at home doing nothing for herself. When she graduates and earns a job will be paying tax like everyone else. She in turn will be supposedly paying for someone elses education, and personally i'd rather it was someone like her, than someone like you

No, you claimed that people who do mickey mouse A Levels go on to do mickey mouse degrees. I did what might be considered mickey mouse A Levels and yet am not doing a mickey mouse degree.

No it's not, it's called a meritocracy.

If you get EEU at A Level, you are too stupid to do a degree. You should not even have done A Levels. You should have left school at 16.

It's snobbish to look down on people who do it because they are interested in the subject and did not realise it was frowned upoon by LSE. Well I'd like to see how you would cope with Film Studies A Level. Half the people in my college last year who took it failed the Film Studies practical media coursework as it is VERY HARD.

The point still holds. Is English Language and Literature akin to "Communication Studies" at A Level?

I took film studies, because I'm interested in the subject, and the time I was picking my A Levels it's an area I was interested in. It may not be the hardest thing ever, but it's not something that any old idiot could pass. It's valid and repected to study books and literature in English Lit. So why shouldn't we study film?

AMazingtrade: Bolton Institute is 10x worse than Man Met, and the only EE students who get there make it through dodgy dealings.

Tek, you're acting like all the "Mets" "JOhn Moores" and ex polytechniques are letting in complete idiots, they're not, some very bright friends of mine are going to them, averaging B grades.Dare I say it, brighter than you?

That is exactly the same with me, I am studying Multimedia and Internet Technology because I love the internet so much, I love knowing how it all works down to binary level and I love producing fairly advanced websites. I will probably go on to get a first a good 2:1 with honours and then get a good job because I can be employed with little further training.

It maybe considered as micky mouse because I find it easy because its a natural interest but who cares? I've learn't so much over the last year I don't care if my university is ranked 63/125.

If you can study something you enjoy and get a decent job at the end of it, then who cares what idiots like Tek think?

Salford is a pretty decent Uni, my Politics teacher has a degree in history and politics from there. My sister applied there as well.

Well, it has been classified in the 'mickey mouse' category before, and that was your point. If I had known it would be looked down on I would have done English Lit, but I preferred the Lang/Lit course. What's wrong with that???
