what happens at the University level now is that, if a course of study does not have immediate applications to the job market, it gets dumped or ill-funded. witness the dearth of art education in the USA. the humanities are from the old sense of University, which was a place to learna nd in which you learn HOW TO learn, and a place which creates a well-rounded educated person.
nowadays ,University (in USA, I cannot speak for the UK or the world) is a mill for creating new feed for the job market. It is a bullshit thing. witness how many people graduate with "business" degrees.
