Philosophy, Economics And Politics.

[sandyRoe]

Apart from leading to a career in parliament what use would such a degree be?

[DTCwordfan]

anything, the first degree is about the training of the mind, the second one can be professionally related - economics to an accountancy or banking, the PP to law for example. Or onto an MBA after gaining work experience

[Peter Pedant]

civil servant? - one of the many ministried, quango ( non govt org) - foreign service/diplomatic corps?

work with the bloated Beeb ?

diplo corps, you have to offer TWO foreign languages in their exam ( no not Latin and greek) - and one that measures your ability to learn languages ( analyse a made up language)
