In a recent 3rd year module 'Gender and Geography' at Exeter, in the 3rd lecture the following quote was given in trying help the students understand identity:
"Identity is our understanding of who we are and of who other people are, and, reciprocally, other people‟s understanding of themselves and of others (which includes us)" - Jenkins, 2004 P.5.
Without studying either gender or geography, I think we all knew that really, if we thought really, really hard.

So yes, a BA geography degree is a waste of time, and is certainly a 'jack of all trades, master of none'. It hardly seems a step up from GCSE level in all honesty. But hey, now we all know that Chicken Tikka is an Indian dish!!
