meet two PMs and have dinner with a DP
Chris Lewis,
The average Deckie on a charter boat meets more celebrities than that

Individual, the point is that the PMs and DPM, were only interested in meeting me because of what I wrote, something that came from a humanities background which they appreciated.

While I could have a done better, i think the Arts can be a great pathway to careers that can help society.

From a policy point of view, Arts gives you research skills that are supposed to make sense of a lot of information. That is why Arts students are employed, albeit i agree with the Coalition that there are simply too many people doing Arts degrees.

Hasbeen, don't average people read OLO? I thought we are all average.

As for fees, I don see why the Arts students should pay more funding that what the courses cost. That, to me, is grossly unfair and Labor should do something about it next election if they actually ant to stand for something.

Chris the average mechanic, or fitter & turner uses more research skills than most arts graduates will ever acquire.

As with most things, I am sure there are a few arts graduates which are of some use, but the majority, sitting on their spreading backsides in some government office are neither use or ornament to the people of Oz.

Perhaps those flipping burgers at a hamburger chain do at least do something useful.

Hasbeen, that could be true.

While research will always have some slant, the teaching of humanities, say politics and history, could be much, much better.

The humanities have been ruined by bias and many stupid and unnecessary subjects

just spoke to a girl I know doing politics as part of law degree, and she told me she slagged off about Trump and the need to get rid of him.

How about teaching the students why he got elected?

To Chris Lewis- this was exactly my thoughts. Thanks for saying it out loud. I hope you don't get cancelled.
