Lol I had a college friend who graduated with a degree in archeology… I saw him years later working at Best Buy.

I yes, this is indeed so risible. Thank you for letting us all laugh at the injustices of scientific knowledge production in late stage capitalism.

Tbh he told me that archeology was way more boring and interesting than he thought it would be.

“meager benefits”, I wish. I have a specialized degree and nearly 15 years of experience in CRM, and I have absolutely none. No vacation, no sick leave, no health insurance, no retirement, nada. And essentially no chance of that changing without going back to school to get a master’s, and even then no guarantee. I hear legends from time to time of field techs trying to unionize back in the 90s and getting blacklisted, hopefully this time it takes off instead.
