How to Make the Most of Your Film Studies Degree

"[I]f I had to stand up in front of students and justify the real-world utility of a Film Studies major, I'd say, "OK, maybe if you want to be in the industry you can bust your ass and end up as an assistant in the marketing department for Pixar. Maybe you'll even get health insurance. But we're moving into a service economy, and most of you will end up working at Wal-Mart, and the way that Film Studies will be useful to you will be when you try to pick up someone in a bar, you'll have something to talk about, because everybody likes to talk about movies." Your move, Gary Ross. [Vetoxa via Looker]
