Is my humanities degree really as ‘soft’ as others would have me believe?
Studying literature for five years is not for the faint-hearted. When I first started my degree, I was led to believe that, if the brutally long reading lists didn’t finish me off, then the 10,000 words I wrote per exam definitely would. At seventeen, I was warned about both things, but – Brontë-obsessed bookworm that I was – I refused to listen. Literature was my passion, and I wouldn’t be stopped from pursuing it.
