@roycroftmom Perhaps. But a young friend took her English degree and music minor to a terrific marketing job in her dream city. She was slow to job-hunt as she went through the process with a prestigious grant she ultimately didn’t get, but once she changed direction it took only 2 months. She started her career about a month after graduation.
I have more anecdotes, but it would be interesting to know if what you suggest is a factor on a national scale.
