1) theres a reason we have the phrase "starving artist" ... its a feast of famine career. Talk about a degree meaning little. Liberal arts is the last place a degree matters.

2)beyond job choice or debt. Did this person not take internships during college??? Cry me a river. You take jobs during bachelor years, you get reccmondations talk to your employment office (most colleges have them) and you have something lined up (espcially for a grad). I smell that this person does not work well with others and bruned all of her bridges with her colleagues.

Are we getting the full story, is this person good at what they studied and worked hard to make connections? Possibly not. This is an anecdote that should not be used as conclusive evidence of anything.
