<p>Everyone’s path out of college is different. I bet Ivy grads have the same struggles you did as well; in fact, many of the Ivy students I know are living at home with their families because they earned degrees in pretty esoteric areas of subjects that don’t prepare you for a “real world” job.</p>
<p>If you play your cards right, USC will help you succeed in the job market. What you can’t do, however, is sit back and expect those “six figure salaries” to automatically come at you just because of where you earned your diploma.</p>
<p>It just sounds like you had some bad luck and made some job decisions that weren’t 100% solid; absolutely does not mean USC is a horrible school that isn’t of any value.</p>
