is worth studying literature in college? BTW not an american,

>>9147904
you should study literature throughout your life. Coasting on the essay you wrote about the connection of Imagism and Haiku won't make you a literature master.

>education is free here

Don't say that. You'll freak out the /pol/stars who think it's impossible.

no, judging by your post you're barely literate to begin with

Says the monolingual American.

nice try, but I'm a trilingual European

>>9147974

Pleb

>>9147974
European isn't a nationality

>>9147904
what does "worth studying" mean to you? If you mean that you're just passionate and you want to learn more, then yes if its a good college. If you want to make a career of it, then that'd probably be difficult

>>9147984
that's right, and?

Analysis is part of getting good at your craft but the second part is just doing that shit. Solve coagula

Help

>>9147904
Don't. It's a fucking retarded major unless you plan on being a teacher or a professor. Study literature by yourself, and pick a STEM major. I did STEM and I'm forever grateful for it.

It should be illegal to misuse the term "science" like this

>do getting a lit degree ensures at least having a basic skill at writing?
No, not necessarily- unless you mean ability to write academic essays, which any arts subject will give you.

For creative writing you'd need a specific course, or at least modules as part of a course. I'm sure most unis have creative writing societies, journals etc, but obviously they're not linked to your degree.

>unless you plan on being a teacher or a professor
This meme should end. Most graduate jobs don't give a crap what degree you have as long as it's a good one and you have extracurricular activities and experience. In fact management consultancy-type ones seem to prefer arts students if anything, possibly because they tend to have better people and communication skills.

Indeed, David Mamet said his Lit Professor knew nothing about life, this is probably because the professor was not much good at anything else.

Literature becomes more valuable as you explore the world, and being trapped in academia is not exploring the world.

I've seen a 10 month course of this, it looks interesting.

>>9148258
IIRC the University of East Anglia in the UK is famous for doing a full creative writing degree- not sure if anywhere else does. Seems a bit limiting if it turns out you're bad at writing or something...

>>9147917
>free

>>9149933
free=you don't have to pay for it

In a lot of countries certain degrees work like this

>>9149941
I get that. I'm just pointing out that somebody still needs to pay the tuition cost. If you pay taxes, it could be you, in which case it isn't really free.

>>9148245
This sounds like a giant load of crap to me

surprisingly, no

>>9149956
It's pretend free for people like to think they aren't missing that 40% of their paycheck.
Unless their neet then their literally parasites.

>>9147917
It literally is.

>missing 40% of your paycheck
>not having to pay millions to study afterwards
Literally living the dream you lucky bastards.

>>9149933
"Free" education generates more value than it consumes(therefore it's gratis after all), together with useless public investments is the only way to avoid the stagnation of capitalism and the seizure of the means of production.
You stupid /pol/tard, is you are so individualist and afraid of the MUHHH COMMUNISM meme, it should be in your best interest that the government makes education freely available.

Stop shitposting and read an economy book already.

It depends on the university and the faculty.

I studied literature at uni. There are lots of things in the curriculum which you can apply in your "creative writing", from literary aesthetics to rhetorics and stylistics. Our writing assignments were mostly academic essays, but that doesn't mean that you can't get feedback from your profs.

> for people like to think they aren't missing that 40% of their paycheck

Yeah I used to think like that until shit hit the fan. Needed surgery, mother needed meds, I couldn't possibly pay for college. I'm glad to pay 40% since it means that I can miss all that fuckery and de-facto slavery to a bank. I'd be an uneducated orphan in a wheelchair if not for my compatriots and their 40%.
