In my ideal alternate universe where the writers actually had ideas for Shaβre and she gets to move to earth, the first thing she does is demand the education the goaβuld so long denied everyone on abydos.
And Daniel is like well of course. We can work on getting you a GEDβ and sheβs like no I want one of the fancy ones like you have. A graduate degree. I know it will take years which is why I wish to start now.
And heβs like well youβve got a natural talent for language and you already know a language descended from ancient Egyptian, you could pursue Egyptologyβ
And sheβs like no I donβt need one of your credentials to be an expert on my own people. I want to know what your people know. I want to know where you keep your knowledge and help defend it.
Which eventually leads to the adventures of Shaβre of Abydos: student of library sciences.
(Her library sciences degree ends up being helpful and plot-relevant an improbable number of times, but not so many times that sheβd have to be a regular on the show. This is still network television)
