random question for UK friends....

[rivendellrose]

Speaking in a purely stereotypical sense, suppose you met a very pretty young woman (mid- to late-twenties) from a wealthy family (ie, wouldn't ever anticipate needing to work for a living)... if someone asked you to guess what she studied at university, what would your guess be?

I know, completely insane. But there's a method to my madness. Sort of.

Suggestions from US- or other-centric friends would not be amiss... I'm just specifically looking for UK-specific expectations. ;)

Also, has anybody here been to Versailles? And perhaps had occasion to notice what kind of security they have there? I promise I'm not considering breaking in... but I've got some characters who might. *g*

Sounds like "History of Art" is the nearly-unanimous answer, so I'm going with it! Thank you!

I find the responses entertaining, since that was my major, and became the household breadwinner. LoL

Yes, but you're special. ....The same answer to why I'm not insulted by "English Lit" as another theory. ;)

I also minored in Classics! Bwa-ha.

But yes, I am a special and unique snowflake. I am, I am! :D

Anthropology is no less useless... it's just that fewer people know it exists and/or what it means. :P

We are! Just like everyone else! XD

Bwa-ha. True enough. When I would job interview, it would usually open with "art history? What's that?" and "Classical Studies? Is that like English Lit?"
