Where are you going?

(This was published on our old site in March 2015.)

My sister-in-law emailed today. She teaches Art to 12-18 year olds in Singapore. She said she'd been to a talk by a professor from Exeter University in the UK. He was talking about joint honors degrees, but what was interesting was that he said 63 percent of UK employers are not interested in what you have studied, more your class of degree and your ability to work in this way. 77 percent of graduates go on to work in areas unrelated to their degrees. 

So his advice was to 'study what makes you smile', which seemed she said, rather lovely advice. 

Agreed.
