[QUOTE="sammm10101, post: 187212, member: 36354"] I'm sorry that we got our wires crossed, and I didn't mean to initiate a barrage of comments against you. However, I hope you can see where I was coming from, and that the initial 'coasting' message, and particularly the subsequent 'if the shoes fit' message really did send the impression that you think that humanities degrees are something you can just push through without doing any work. It just really bothered me as its a fairly common thing you hear from people, that history is easy, and its something I have heard repeatedly from other aspiring solicitors, at open days and at events at my university. And sorry, but I have the absolute right to respond to someone who (mistakenly) implied first that I was just 'coasting' through a degree without putting in any effort, and then personalised it by saying 'if the shoe fits'. Obviously its not the point of the forum, but I thought I should let the other person know just how elitist and insulting it came across. If someone directly insulted you or your work ethic, I would not be surprised in the slightest if you responded, nor would I belittle the response and essentially imply that its meaningless. I would back it completely! Anyway, all good, and no hard feelings :) [/QUOTE]
