I know what you mean ... in the grand scheme of things, your education is a lot less important than everyone makes it out to be. I've found so many things over the last year that are a lot more significant in my life, and it's made me realise how unnecessary academia can be.

But I s'pose that's why I want to do Theology at Cambridge. I want to do Theology because it's an academic subject that actually feels important to me, and the opportunity to study it in the way they do at Cambridge would genuinely excite me. I don't care what degree I get out of it, or whether people are impressed by the fact that I studied at Cambridge ... I went to the open day there and the whole thing appealed to me so much, I know I'd love it.

I think if you are going into higher education, it's really important to be doing something that means a lot to you. Otherwise you won't have the motivation to keep going.
