The right kind of college degree, though, can still improve your life in a way that goes beyond one's surely estimable but ultimately completely unmarketable soul.

This is one of the greatest sentences ever written in OOT.

He's right, you know. I have a rather undistinguished history degree from the University of Texas. The difference I noticed in trying to get a job with and without said degree was essentially negligible. So, I started playing cards, and... well. Point is - if you don't want to enter academia, and you don't want to get one of the more "practical" degrees, you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle by just going to the library a lot.
