gollark: English Literature is where you read books and poems and such, agonisingly slowly, and write entirely pointless essays.
gollark: No, I meant most of those things you could probably learn yourself. First aid you would likely benefit from in person teaching in but the rest is just "read the news" or "read a few pages explaining mortgages".
gollark: It is hard to know in advance whether you'll be interested in stuff which needs that several years later.
gollark: Yeees? I mean, I don't know how hard first aid is, but mortgages are trivial.
