Good man. Any specific focus?

Oh, what did you switch to?
I can understand that. Going to university was a step into the Big Wide World for me, growing up in a farming community well outside the standard intercity lanes of travel.
That was basically the feeling she conveyed. Not hatred, just, it was a bit backwater. Nice, if you like that sort of thing.
She agrees that it's a miserable place.
One of my roommates is from Dundee.
If you are going to library science (yes, this applies for your sister as well, or basically anyone in the world that is thinking to do so), take some computer classes. No you don't need any sort of degree or even certificate in computers, but knowledge with them (meaning more knowledge than the average person) will help considerably. Libraries are changing and aren't what they used to be. For the record I'm not saying a history undergraduate degree is useless for it, I'm saying it alone is not enough for the entire package like it once was.
And of course, there's also getting a masters also in history so you can actually teach it as you mentioned (unless you want to work in a museum or something of that nature... something else I know nothing about.)
Well in America (according to my ex-history professor, anyway) a history undergrad degree is the most popular to go to law school with. Apparently the market for law jobs aren't good right now here in America, but it could be different in the UK, I have no idea. Another common route for humanities undergraduate people is to get an MBA but that's also something I know nothing about even in America, much less the UK. And an underrated option: a graduate degree in library science. Librarians aren't rich (even the law librarians, which basically get paid the most), but it's a steady job and stress free, as I've found out from volunteering at two different ones this summer.
UNT (university of north texas) here in America offers an online library science program and the total tuition price for all classes in the degree combined cost less than $10,000 US dollars. I have no idea what the price of secondary education is in the UK but here, that's a bargain.
Just curious (even though this is none of my business, so feel free to ignore). What do you plan to do after your history degree? Go to graduate school, get a technical degree, get another bachelors in something, or just work (hopefully using the degree).
Do you like my new siggy?
Well, it's a common trend of these oligarchs to use leftwing battle-cries while doing the exact opposite, I live under a government that, in an Orwellian way, has made 'redistribution of wealth' a slogan while land is bought up by foreigners and workers are taxed more and more each year -banks get tax breaks.
Why should the UK be anything but that?
Can I just copy your entire argument in the Libertarianism thread into an omnibus post and throw it at people with a vengeance whenever this comes up?
Maybe you missed it, maybe you didn't but if you did, I was interested in your thoughts on this question.

Praise Satans bait is but a steaming turd. It distresses me to see a gourmet such as yourself sample the fare.
You're already incurably smug, so maybe I should give you a pass.
"I'm opposed to statists regardless of their party or ideology."
Whenever anyone uses such stupid terminology, I get the urge to slap them with their smug little keyboard.
Forgot to straighten up your avvie.
Just in case you think I was taking the mick, my mum lived in Yorkshire until she got married. -
