lol "advanced degree in history, food, brewing, culture, or business."


I find that funny, of course, unless someone focused their advanced degree on something useful to the job which I'm sure there are. But, I imagine ALL the history students out there with advanced degrees in nothing that will get them a real job applying. Funny.
