Sweden has a senseless proliferation of archaeology departments. There's one for every 1.3 million inhabitants here. In Denmark, that number is 1 per 3.0 million. In Poland, it's 1 per 4.1 million.
My firm belief is that a person without inherited wealth should only study courses that fit into a degree that will lead to a steady job. Otherwise you just go into debt and lose time needlessly. It's better to drive a bus without study debt than with study debt.
