A while back I heard of a person who had a PhD in Sanskrit (spl?), an ancient Indian language (that's sub-continent, not New World Indian). She was complaining that she couldn't get a job even though she had a PhD.

I think this person would probably cry the same blues.

Reminds me of a scene from the movie PCU:

Droz: Sanskrit. You're majoring in a 5,000-year-old dead language.
Guy: Yeah.
Droz: [hands him a thesis] Latin, best I can do. Next!
Guy #2: Phys. Ed.
Droz: Phys. Ed. Okay, you're out of my room. Seriously. Get out.
