Purpose of double degree?

Well, 8 years minus the years spent on the degree that you end up using.

Yup, that's still a very long time to be at uni!
Longer than high school!

I know, I agree that the degree is pointless.

If you choose to be a lawyer - a med degree is useless to most legal firms

If you choose to be a doctor - you still have years and years of specialisation and internships to go... years which you wasted on your law degree (though you'll be well versed in what not to do to get sued for negligence!!!!!!)

lol! Take a maths professor, 4 years to get a B.Sc(Honours) + 3 - 4 years for a PhD ~ 8 years of uni. So it's long, but not an unusual amount of time studying.
