Which course?

LLB Law at Nottingham Trent
BA Ancient History & Classical Archaeology at Leicester Uni
BSc Geology at Birkbeck Uni

Please note these would all be studied part time via distance learning over 4 years.

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on each of these choices ? Like which sounds more impressive ? Pretentious I know but I'm interested in knowing how each course is perceived ?
Well in the oil and gas/mineral resource professionals would probably consider a Geology degree more impressive for working in that sector.

Solicitors and Barristers would probably consider a Law degree more "impressive" as a prerequisite to working in the legal sector (although that's no longer going to be a requirement to become a solicitor in the near future).

A classicist or archaeologist in academia would probably think the Ancient History & Classical Archaeology course most impressive for preparing for a career in academia.

This is really a bit of a glib question - which degree you should pursue should depend on your career aims as well as personal interests. They're all "impressive" in their own right but for entirely different reasons and for different purposes.
