So he works for a university? Are we to offer jobs at university to everyone who graduates? In that sense then yes, everyone should study anthropology. I shall apply tomorrow too. Everybody study English, anthropology and political science and get straight into the tertiary sector. Piece of cake, plenty of great high paying jobs everywhere! Graduates have a harder time competing today, what is so difficult about that to understand? I don't understand this exchange, just like in the other thread it almost feels like sparring for the sake of it.

The economy there is in VERY bad shape, what is there that doesn't compute? Even here the job market is suffering because it is over saturated with people who cannot make it in Britain or America. There is a glut of graduates out here (only graduates can work here) and they wouldn't be here driving down wages if there were plenty of jobs for them back home. It's a messed up failed system and the altruistic pursuit of knowledge is not enough to cancel out minimal job opportunities and a serious debt noose. There are many all over the place and Britain isn't an easy place to survive for graduates or anyone.
