So my DD will be going into her final year at uni in September. She's studying media with a special interest in feminism/women's studies.
She would like to go into publishing eventually and was lucky enough to have several work experiences at two of the biggest publishing houses last year. She's doing well and in track for a first.
So that's all very good for her. She's now told me she wants to do a masters. I asked 'err in what?!' and she said Gender studies. She's had several meetings about it to find out more etc etc and her plan is to live at home and commute to where it would be - not far and especially not too bad when she'd only be going in a few times a week
My issue isn't her living at home - although she was outraged at my suggestion that 'student favours' end when she finishes uni and that I consider a masters to be a bit of an indulgence in the subject she wants to do it in. She says she intends to work alongside it
What do you think? I'll support her whatever and clearly this isn't up to me but I'm just unsure what a masters in Gender studies adds to anything really - does it make the job market more favourable to you? Or just a waste of time?
