I have a masters degree in Middle East Studies and am working towards a PhD in the area of Islamic studies. So when I saw the headline in your October 10 issue, "Employability: Middle East studies does the job", I was excited enough to buy the paper. What, after all, is ?1.40 for someone with my glittering career prospects? Imagine my disappointment to find that the article to which this headline referred made no mention of Middle East studies. When I managed to find it in the rather poorly presented accompanying tables, it seemed to rank rather low in the employability league.
