it was in creative writing, and we all know how valuable that is and how much it will enhance my future income.

i did it for fun, as did a couple of the others
also if i just put "masters from oxford" on my cv, hopefully people will just assume it's in law, and NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW.

but 90% of the course were doing it full-time. a 2 year, part time course in creative writing. and this was their job. one of them already had a masters in poetry. poetry. that is even more useless than creative writing.
