Someone asked me this earlier and it got me thinking. These days education seems so hard wired to graduate positions that it feels odd to even discuss education for education's sake.
If degrees had no bearing on jobs and you had to get a degree, what would it be?

If I was able to get a degree I wanted with no bearing on job prospects or anything - I'd get pursue a dual major in Bio-Organic Chemistry and Hospitality (think something like Cornell's School of Hotel Management or Penn State's School of Hospitality Management) and minors in marketing and philosophy. Strange set up but that's what I'd do. If anyone cares to take a stab at why those, I'll gladly hear the list of possible job careers.
