I think you're telling on yourself that you can't possibly imagine a reason for studying something other than "What will get me a job?". Which is sad.
Aside from that - it's a postgraduate degree. It's primary function is to bridge the gap between undergraduate study and a career in academia.
So yes. Obviously degrees like this are geared toward someone who has a cross-discipline interest in a particular field or topic.
There are two reasons to get a degree:
Job
Rich and bored.
You sound sheltered if you think there's any other reason to pay tuition.
A masters from Exeter costs between $44,000 and $67,000. So no, I don't think I'm telling on myself when I say that I don't want a mountain of student loan debt without a reliable way to pay it off.
The only thing sad about it is that colleges and universities charge the ridiculous amount that they do in the first place.
Sounds like someone has yet to even attend college...
