Tam, I agree: one of the things that seems to have been lost in recent years is the concept of study for its own sake. Maybe it's because of tuition fees that the equation now seems to be all about employability. But even if it hadn't led to my current career, I LOVED my time at uni. The simple opportunity to take elective modules in subjects like literature and art history - they haven't been particularly relevant to my career, but I'm so glad I got the opportunity.
