What can you do with Sociology/Psychology/Cultural Studies/Social Anthropology post-grad qualification

[onebatmother]

Apart from pat self on back?

I am thinking of retraining but no idea about jobs. Those are the things I'm considering studying - what REAL ACTUAL JOBS might I get with a postgrad MA/PHD in them?

I mean ones that pay money. Any money. But must be money.

Thanks dearies.

Well to a degree, obv

actually that too is not strictly true

Nice?

OBM please don't stfu

What is stfu?

Threadworm, I will be on the next train with my spade.

There must be a third way. Surely it is possible to work with the basic mechanisms of capitalism but with something other than pure profit as the driving force. Isn't it?

You want one of these, Iorek:

i have always wanted to live in Germany. Largely because I fancy Germans like the way they combine a sort of socialism with capitalism and their environmental awareness. Not a huge barrel of laughs though.

Ruty - good sausage selection though.

I'll take that at its basest face value.

ruty it's the wurst joke I've ever made on MN.

Ho ho! With theeze naughty jokes you are really spoiling us! [lip synch out of kilter]

[Kills thread. Bows to applause.]

NO! you haven't killed the thread. I was just googling german sausage types for puns.

But was blindsided by this horrific revelation: "Liverwurst is one category of spreadable sausage and must contain at least 30 percent pork liver."

1. "Liverwurst"
2. "spreadable sausage"
3. "30% pork liver"

Yum.

I'd eat it if I could live in Germany. Do you think it is part of the citizenship entry criteria?

I hesitate to ask what else Google came up with when you googled 'sausage'

BIWI, 'sausage' isn't really a porno keyword Though this may change, of course.

yes I know onebat. Am most disappointed.

Isn't it?

OK, after I'd got the wurst brats in E17 (c wot i did?) to bed, I did a little light research this evening into what's going down at a cutting-edge cultural studies MA course, and it's mildly intimidating to say the fucking least.

So cultural studies is out then, I think.

I'm not sure that I had the intellectual wherewithal when I was twenty and still sexy, brain-wise. I certainly don't now I'm forty-one and mainly drunk, with mascara-trails and one shoe missing, telling the minicab driver of academia that I do live around here somewhere, let's just go around the block again.
