sociology and anthropology are dangerous to them, because those fields help us understand the power dynamics, ethics, and human cost of what the industries they like better are doing.
Performing arts is hugely important for the economy, but it doesn't benefit them directly.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

A flash of heat lightning brightens a large thundercloud . The cloud hovers over stilted beach houses. The midnight blue sky has faint streaks of iridescent purples and greens.

Next to the third panel are the words: “The times they are a-changin’ in white. Also painted against the diamond Arlecchino pattern from the prior two panels.

The second and third panels show an older Dylan, but continue the Arlecchino pattern. The cars in the foreground and skyscrapers in the background give you an idea of the mural’s massive size.

The first panel features a multi colored guitar.Early Dylan’s portrait is painted as a pastel Arlecchino.
