but he also has a background in economics, you would think that is pragmatic unless hiring managers say only a brainiac would study all 3 subjects as an interdisciplinary (spelling?) major, we can't hire brainiacs, smart people yes but too brainy

The problem is me not the job market itself. The problem being, getting too much knowledge you don't want to do shitty, useless high payed jobs. You look for purpose. That's why I went into education to fight windmills. Shitty salary, no one that's you, but hey I think it has a purpose.

It would be if it were only a German Master's degree. I am a degenerate immigrant trying to exploit their system. Therefore I get a 800 EUR net haircut every month.
