I have mixed emotions about this. On the one hand I'm glad they are highly educated. I for one really value education and have a degree myself. However, what I don't understand is piling up doctorates and degrees and not making any money.
I had a great uni experience and enjoy learning but I saw my degree as an entry into a well paying job which would give me the skills to start my own business, which I have done. I was always confused by some of the Nigerians who were 40 years old, still at uni and clocking up their 3rd degree whilst working some crappy McJob part time. They thought that having all of these degrees was the be all and end all but what's the point if you can't get a job at the end because you're too old and 'over-educated' to get an entry level job? There are way too many Africans cleaning the tube with 3 degrees. I say get a degree then get a job unles your planning to become a Doctor. If discrimination/immigration problems mean you have to study forever, then take your degree back home and make some money.
