Apologies for this rant on universities cancelling English Lit courses in response to government demands that a % of graduates find professional level work within months.
Firstly, you absolutely cannot measure the value of an education by the job anyone takes right afterwards. 🧵
Great if an engineering graduate gets a job in engineering, but that student's education will have been about so much more as well. With less obviously vocational degrees like Literature, the value to the student or society is harder to measure, but it is very definitely there.
