Scientists believe that we do less work than them. Perhaps this is true, in terms of sheer hours spent, and certainly we Arts Students (former and present) do have a few less early mornings to enjoy, but the scientists possibly forget one great luxury they have which we forever lack: right answers. If a scientist 'gets it right', then they're more or less assured of a good mark. For Arts Students, however, not only is 'right' a very grey area, but we also have to take into account... the opinion of the tutor, other equally valid viewpoints, and so on. That _tact_ can occasionally gain or lose marks to a significant degree on an Arts Student's paper or essay should be enough in itself to show that although we might not work as hard _formally,_ we're having to play a whole different board game. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2823717.stm "A degree in an arts subject reduces average earnings to below those of someone who leaves school with just A-levels, a study shows. " Of course, we all knew that anyway.
