The academic circle of life strikes again! This person's friend is trapped in the ultimate scholarly irony - getting an egyptology degree but finding no jobs, so they're investing MORE money into a PhD just to teach... more egyptologists who won't find jobs either!

The punchline is absolutely chef's kiss - "In his case college is literally a pyramid scheme." It's a brilliant double entendre since egyptology studies ancient Egyptian civilization (famous for their pyramids) AND the friend is stuck in a system where people at the top benefit from recruiting people at the bottom. That's some high-quality wordplay right there!

The harsh reality of specialized academic fields has never been funnier... or more painfully accurate. Higher education's version of "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"
