How come you can understand the concept but others can't?

This is turning into an oxymoron


No it's not.

You want to show a source for a degree in Madonna...?
Or are you just making this up?

I will re-iterate my thesis that "mickey mouse" (or should I up-date to "Sonic the Hedgehog") subjects are actually more worthwhile to life and employment in the 21st Century than the likes of maths & history.

I'll also re-invite creative thought into what might be useful new courses that old-fashioned people will call "mickey mouse".

Household managment (since more and more women work alongside men).
Sports managment (ie for a football side) should become a university course.

Will edit as i think of more

Not necessarily; courses such as history and maths can be very useful - particularly maths with machinery/technology etc.
History I can't think of a particular use for, but there must be some.

All courses have their uses and are important.

Thank you. End of discussion. I'm off to do my PhD in Bugs Bunny Bin Management.

I think that most if not all subjects can be beneficial to somebody. We aren't all able to go to top universities and study traditional subjects, so I admire those looking to do something a bit more diverse that theywill enjoy

That was how tabloids dubbed a course "The role of 20th century icons" In the late 90s

It is referred to here.

I'd be interested in an A-level in humour, seriously.


I knew I chose the wrong study

is it possible to keep this thread sensible please, i think the op is trying to make a point :p:
You could have made this thread SO much easier to understand...

And I don't do any MM subjects, except DT at GCSE.

And before all of you say Philosophy is a MM subject, it isn't, it is just BS and is very boring. It is also a "generally acceptable" subject on Trinity College, Cambridge's website.

We already have sports psychology courses, but we can't even get into the Euro footie.
I guess it's not what you teach it's who you teach.

We need to win, now we are managed by an Italian . . are they well known for winning ? (don't mention the war).
