because it's a birth-right hierarchical pyramid in these parts, you see.
and medicine is the apex.
under medicine is probably chemistry or biochemistry.
the arts are further down.
philosophy hangs around the bottom.and you can start from the top and then settle into whatever you like. but there is no working your way up (there is no work).
there is only the natural order.
and some random luck.
the luck is supposed to promote hope.
it's all about undermining and preventing work.
nobody wnats to work.
especially teh people up top.so people don't make it as medical doctors.
so those people get jobs in philosophy.
sure.it's not like the US system where everybody does arts and science as undergrad and then GPA is important for entry to professional degrees.
our professional degree entry is gifted to people as their birth-right.
England is in trouble, too.
The 'elite' class who don't do anything
and who seem to become dumber and dumber with each gereration
