if you don’t mind my asking, what was your degree?

It’s officially titled Multimedia and there are lots of practical classes. But about half of it was Sociology, Anthropology, journalism-related stuff, theory of symbols, screenwriting, analysing media, etc. We also had a semester of counter-cultural reading, people such as Jaron Lanier and Lawrence Lessig.
Very conceptual and the theoretical bits were great to retain, even if they feel ‘useless’ when you’re young.
