I am well aware of what logistics are and how big a buisness it is. My criticism is that there is a graduate program dedicated to just Northeast Asian (Read Korea) Logistics. Its seems a bit over the top. Perhaps a little over-compensation?


Actually, Korea really does need some smart people in their logistics chain. Korean logistics is three times the cost of Europe, and twice the cost of America.

Listen, I don't hive a shiite either way my point was that there is a whole GRADUATE SCHOOL dedeicated to it. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a degree or programs or majors but an entire school, I find that hard to believe.


It's just poor translating. Check out the University of Incheon website. There's only one Gradauate school and many Departments. This program can fall under 4 or 5 Departments.

Actually, one of the worst things about it is that it leads people think that I AM religious. People tend to confuse Religious Studies with Theology and Divinity, and I've been asked more times than I can count if I'm planning on joining the clergy.

But anyway, I meant 'useless' in terms of looking like sh*t on a resume. It's a fascinating field of study.

At least your degree has some value within religious or theological circles. In 1998 I was awarded an Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts. Now THAT'S an utterly worthless degree. Even an A.A. in Air-Con Repair has more value than this one. The only thing this is good for is for decorating your wall if you frame it and talking to people who never attempeted college: "Look at what I got!"

Take it easy, bruddahs, our man Octavius is jealous of anyone with an advanced degree. He's still sore about enrolling in that correspondence course for TEFL from Phoenix University.

Remember: he doesn't want to be a teaching assistant at TIAU forever.
