Let $k$ be a separably closed field, say $k=\mathbb{C}$.

Is it true that any finite field extension of $k$ is separably closed?

Let $L/k$ be a finite extension, then for any finite extension $F/L$, $F/k$ is purely inseparable, thus by the multiplicativity of separable degrees, $F/L$ is also purely inseparable, thus $L$ is separably closed.
