[quote=Anonymous]Some people seem to be saying the degree is useless, but when reading, analyzing and writing about literature, you gain research and critical thinking skills. Same for studying Russian and Eastern European history, culture, politics, and business. You learn so much about other parts of the world, but you also learn about yourself and learn to question your own assumptions.

Maybe you can't study abroad in Russia right now. But some programs go to places like Kazakhstan. Even more culture shock.

So even if you don't end up working for a think tank, or as a journalist, or at a government agency, or as a contractor, or in a company that does business with Eastern Europe or in academia, you will still be using your degree. You'll have learned how to think, analyze and learn and apply it in the same way that so many other successful people apply what they have done when they are in jobs that don't conform exactly to the subject name of whatever they majored in at college.[/quote]
