It's not my fault some chose a degree without thinking of the end game. I assume by "lining ducks up" you ran them over with your truck.
I chose my career so I could live almost anywhere, then got the degree that it required. I worked in my degree field starting after completing my freshman year, every other semester to make money to pay for school. I also worked on campus driving a bus, then again in my career field every summer, and every vacation even if it was only a week long. Towards the end of my last semester I was already paying off my tuition loans and I had less than $200 in the bank.
Two weeks prior to my last final exam I started a 70 hour per week gig and that lasted 6 months. It also included a decent hotel room and a pier diem. I went from poverty to High Cotton by making one phone call.
Before that gig was up I landed a full time StateGovCo job. I quit that after a year, and again one phone call had another gig, stipulating the time frame myself this time at 6 months because I wanted to move to another state but needed to save money to make that happen.
When I made my move I first chose the city. Then I identified three consulting firms, sent my resume to each and got three interviews. I scheduled all three for a two-day time period and got offers from all three.
I've quit every job that I've ever had and have never been fired. I don't feel sorry for the slackers who never planned, or didn't plan well.

Whores gotta whore. It's telling when a particular troll starts 100s of threads about "teachers in the news" and constantly denigrates higher education. Revealing... very revealing.
I hope you're not too disappointed but I did not take physics, calculus, or chemistry in h.s.
