Why do people bother with this A-level when most careers, and unis, don't value drama? It is often considered to be a "soft subject" by most universities. Even becoming a trained, paid actor is a tedious process with just 10% of all trained actors surviving in the industry beyond 3 years. (A former drama school teacher told me this).
@Slidetotheleft Жыл бұрын
Who said the subject is just for those pursuing acting? The view that Drama is a 'soft subject' really REALLY grinds my gears as I strongly believe it should be considered on par with subjects such as History and English. The essay element of the subject is vast and looks at similar themes of wording that English does, only with the added aspect of how this is performed. In terms of jobs - would you not agree that public speaking and communication is one of, if not the most, important skill for any career? What other subject focuses on this so explicitly? On top of that, what do you mean by 'not valued' by most universities? Sure, if I was trying to pursue engineering that wouldn't seem the most relevant subject but I think Durham University found it just fine when I applied for my teacher training course - a career that involves many elements of performing and analyzing emotions of children! If a company or uni did not 'value' Drama as a subject, I would not want to be part of their team anyway. Thanks for your input!
