Job defender is less demanding after obtaining university degrees (7)
I believe the answer is:
luddite
'job defender is less' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'after obtaining university degrees' is the wordplay.
'after' becomes 'lite' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'obtaining' is an insertion indicator.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'degrees' becomes 'dd' (an abbreviation for degree written twice).
'u'+'dd'='udd'
'lite' enclosing 'udd' is 'LUDDITE'.
'demanding' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for luddite that I've seen before include "protesting worker" , "Diluted by opposer of new technology" , "19th-century English workman who destroyed new labour-saving machinery" , "C19 hater of mechanisation" , "One of a gang of English workmen destroying labour-saving mill machinery, 1811-16" .)
