Study something you like - VS - Study ONLY something that will be useful in the working world. Nowadays, having an university degree is taken almost for granted. On the other hand, the number of students and study opportunities has sharply increased. Nonetheless, the choice of the subject of one's study path is still very important, not only in view of one's future career, but especially because it will determine how pleasant and interesting its university and job experiences will be. Therefore, it would be wise to learn about something that we enjoy, more than something purely "useful". Undoubtedly, having a major in one of the so-called "expendable degrees" may be an advantage when looking for a job. Certain subjects, such as STEM, are highly requested in businesses and organisations nowadays. On the other hand, some people may love other subjects that are not considered as much useful on behalf of a future working career, like literature, philosophy and arts. This choice is frequently discouraged using the scarecrow of unemployment as if it was more a fact than a possibility. However, this isn't true. Many of these skilled students find jobs related to their areas of study, even if they don't fall in the category of subjects usually defined as useful. Others may want to continue their career in the academic world, giving their contribution to research or education. Unfortunately, some may not be lucky enough to find a job linked to their degree; however, in my opinion, this happens on both sides. The reason why scientific subjects appear to be more popular in the working world is that they have a wider range of applications. However, what's the point of having studied physics, for example, if you end working as an accountant just because you have a basic knowledge of informatics? I strongly believe that the main goal in our life is to pursue what we love, which includes studying about something that we enjoy. I think that, so long we put all our efforts and commitment in what we do, there's no "useless" degree. In my view, skills are always repaid.
