Yes, this is how I look at my academic career TBH
although with less MDs, more lying in bed watching TV and a slightly better result, most likely in a sillier subject though.

Dear god Boyce
when you have to resort to LOLing at your own jokes you really have reached rock bottom, you North London ponce.

My wit is so advanced that often people don't LOL until a fortnight after I crack my witticisms.
I was merely helping lesser people along by pointing out how LOLular my joke was.

If indeed they ever LOL at all.
It's all right Monty, you'll be fine, they have low standards on your side of the river.

At least you got an ology
I reckon sociology is more use then Eng. Lit.

Well, neither of them are vocational, unless you want to teach.

Very much this ^
Although I have a good line in making Philosophy sound relevant to software testing in job interviews, I don't think anyone believes it but it's a nice talking point.
