There are plenty of people with degrees working in those warehouses because it's the only thing they can get due to their circumstances and it pays a little better than retail. (I know this because I was one of them until a few weeks ago.)

Thank you for the perspective. The reason I find this incredible is also that this statistic does not include seasonal workers, so I made the inference that they chose this job out of lack of alternatives.

Also, what did you major in?

Chemical Engineering. It seems that the only growing industry in the Inland Empire right now is warehouses.
