why would they choose them? Um because there easier! Relative to certain other degrees. Engineering for example has much less subscribers than say Media Studies. Many an industrial employer are calling out for Chemists, Physicists etc I know my industry is [Defence].
The way the young view debt is very different to the way you and i may. Most rightly have a more care free attitude and class it as a worry for another day.
Of course media studies is valued by, "The Media Industry" But are there more subscribers than job places? who really makes a living from it? Very few if your honest. Most end up on a different career path totally unconnected. how do i know this, "life experience".
