    I think you’re telling on yourself that you can’t possibly imagine a reason for studying something other than “What will get me a job?”. Which is sad.

    Aside from that - it’s a postgraduate degree. It’s primary function is to bridge the gap between undergraduate study and a career in academia.

    So yes. Obviously degrees like this are geared toward someone who has a cross-discipline interest in a particular field or topic.

      There are two reasons to get a degree:

      1. Job

      2. Rich and bored.

      You sound sheltered if you think there’s any other reason to pay tuition.

      A masters from Exeter costs between $44,000 and $67,000. So no, I don’t think I’m telling on myself when I say that I don’t want a mountain of student loan debt without a reliable way to pay it off.

      The only thing sad about it is that colleges and universities charge the ridiculous amount that they do in the first place.
