  I studied neither politics nor philosophy.

  I guess this is meant for me!
  
  It’s been useful in that it taught me how to read very hard books and also how to write an essay very well. I can use these skills with many things. The actual philosophy and politics that I learnt about aren’t too much use as an engineer!

Sorry meant to ask just Jed that one – can’t get the hang of my computer! 😀
