On the one hand people on this Forum bemoan the state of archaeology degrees OR they bemoan the fact that the new graduate can't find a job.
Just WHAT is it the protest is really about? A chance to march on London, break windows and show anything but an educated response to a challenge from Government (oh...and terrify a dumb animal by pulling it's rider from it's back - why is that amusing by the way?) or the fact that potential students will be forced to use their own money (or rather their parents') to waste their time doing irrelevant degrees?
As someone has already pointed out the repayment terms are not going to apply to archaeology students due to the pittance they earn...I would have thought it was a reason to support it!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
