so much this. one of my grad school classmates and i were hanging out at a bar one night, and the waitress was whining about her $300,000 in student loans for her ba/ma/ph.d. in "ethnomusicology". after she took our drinks order and went to get them, he looked at me and said "what the fuck do you do with a degree in 'ethnomusicology'?" we looked at each other, then looked toward where she was getting our drinks from the bartender. . . . the answer was obvious.
