Was the solution actually that it's true for any k,p,A,t then?
I'm not sure a very strong argument can be drawn from A levels. The ones I took were borderline irrelevant for uni, and I only took pure sciences then went into engineering. So unless you're suggesting that both general studies and economics as A level subjects are irrelevant, I'd say general studies as a degree is far less useful than one in economics. I have a suspicion that all A level subjects are trivial relative to university courses though, so I don't think I'm following your reasoning.
@Nix at no point have I said humanities are easy. How did you misread " "Reading" is evidently more difficult than I can fully understand as an engineer."? Reading from my perspective is a dozen or so pages of theory followed by a ludicrous amount of mathematics, so I tend to consider reading the easy bit. However I've also mentioned the Iliad in Greek as an example of reading, and I'd be unwise to say this is simple.
Geography is not something I've ever shown interest in. Despite this I acknowledge that I'd find a geography degree more difficult than an engineering one. However I will also stereotype and say that you'd have found an engineering degree much more difficult than your geography one.
