Egyptology Memes

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!"

The ultimate academic irony! Getting an egyptology degree, then spending more money on a PhD just to teach others egyptology... making higher education literally a pyramid scheme! 😂 The punchline is absolutely brilliant because it works on multiple levels - the educational hierarchy forms a pyramid shape (few professors at top, many students at bottom), while also connecting perfectly to the Egyptian subject matter. Talk about being trapped in academic quicksand without a hieroglyphic instruction manual! Meanwhile, the pharaohs of academia keep collecting tuition treasure while their graduates search for that elusive tomb of employment.

The ancient Egyptians built pyramids to last millennia, but this poor egyptologist's career prospects crumbled faster than papyrus in water! The punchline is *chef's kiss* brilliant - studying ancient pyramid builders only to become trapped in a modern pyramid scheme of academia. It's the perfect storm of irony where you need a PhD just to teach others to get degrees they can't use! The academic circle of life, but with more student debt and fewer job prospects than a mummy's tomb raider. Somewhere, Anubis is cackling at this cosmic joke.
