    I know a guy with a PhD in medieval agriculture with a specific focus on cows. He’s one of my brothers wife’s friends.

    This guy devoted his life to ye olde english cow farts.

    He’s struggling for employment as one might expect.

      Who even funds degrees like that?

      You end up with fewer job prospects than a GED

        Degrees like that aren’t about a paycheck. It’s about more important things than that. They ought to be subsidized by government if anything.
