Triple Meejah Studies and jobless

[Mich the Tester]

I see the phenomenon of the nonsense qualification has hit Spain too;

Spaniard becomes voice of country's 'lost generation' - Telegraph

Mr Serra, from Valencia, insisted that his work did not make him ashamed despite having a degree in Journalism and Advertising and another in Public Relations from the prestigious private CEU Cardenal Herrera University. He also has a Master's degree in Community Management

FFS, it's not because you're from a 'lost generation' although I understand that Spain's economy is a mess; it's because you spent umpteen years studying complete bollocks that nobody can use. Why are such courses even funded?

We have a few spanish guys at work. They didn't do meeja studies though.

"I thought I deserved better after so much effort in my academic life. Apparently I was wrong."

You were wrong and who's fault is that?
The world owes you nothing and even as a holder of three degrees you need to compete with everyone else and unfortunately for you, compete against people who have a clue.

OTOH, you could argue that like many young people with useless bla-bla degrees, he's been conned. But getting conned the same way three times in a row suggests he's not as bright as he thinks he is.

He could apply for a job at The Guardian, idiots with meeja degrees would fit in nicely

Harsh but fair.

Maybe you could sell him a course in electric shock therapy?

I don't have a chip, I am equating your level of degree with the ones you mock. Manufacturing had little or no rigour, multiplying amounts in boxes with number of boxes has little real value and I imagine that is the same with media studies, both subjects should be done on the job, not in universities for student's vanity.
