Oxford girl is crowdfunding her Masters - 'posh brat', or sign of the times?

For all the wrong reasons.

No one cared that she wants to research about the evolutionary blah blah, culture, genes, humans etc.

They only cared about her appearances which were determined by makeup, lighting, and funnily enough, her parents genes which she had no control of.

Oh God. You think all those top people who are giving her funds just basically fancy her? Yeah, that must be the reason. It couldn't be because they admired her for pushing herself forwards with it and for making good arguments and an interesting and novel approach? Nah. None of that. It must be entirely down to her looks.

gggaaaaaahhhhhhh this is so annnoying. There are actual people and families working their bu** off to afford going to university and watching a privileged person just being 'funded' is like rubbing it in all those peoples faces. What's to say that after she gets her masters and still doesn't have a job that she'll make another video and ask people to fund her pension costs and pay electricity bills

Then those people should have come up with the idea.

Exactly, this is what I was thinking. If you're going to do a masters do something actually employable. What a waste of time.

on another note, giving out your name and where you'll be for the next academic year while begging cash off strangers would be a good way to pick up an obsessive stalking nutcase who now thinks you owe them.

sure this thought will cheer up her detractors.

if she's black she wouldn't get such a response.
did you read the youtube comments on that video?
many were so funny I chuckled.
wonder if they're on TSR.

It's quite commendable, what she did was brilliant.

I believe that people who has extra cash, sees her passion in what she studies. More of my opinion, if I have the money, I will donate since I know it will be worth it - she is intelligent after all.

Very inspiring - I might do this for my Masters as well. LOL

Human Sciences is not just Anthropology, it is consist of a mixture of Biology, Genetics, Physiology, Sociology, Stats.

I believe that her passion is very admirable and sadly a degree in "Anthropology" is quite academic based and a big percentage of graduates do a masters.

In my opinion, it's not a failure of critical thinking, since she said she wants to be a "scientist", she will need further education to be able to achieve what she wants.

So she couldn't save £26k in the 4 years she could have been working. Or take out a bank loan

But, because shes white, female and 7/10 she gets away with it. Good for her.

If she hasn't worked since she graduated, what bank would loan her £26K?

Surely there should be scope for some people who have talent to be able to engage with non-vocational courses, if they can fund it - all she's done really is express that she wants to do that and a bunch of good hearted people have seen fit to make it possible for her. People don't particularly get outraged that wealthy kids do art history or other zero employment courses. Why be offended when someone manages to do one by simply asking for financial support for it?
