Graduating in economic downturn year

[Ideas]

Interesting. I suspect that there's a psychological aspect involved, too. You pick a major, spend 50k on a traditional degree to "get a job" in your field. You test hard, study, live on ramen, get your degree... and then realize the job you had lined up doesn't exist. Not only are you not making that 80k a year, you have a BA and you're struggling to pay the bills working in a call center for AT&T doing everything you hate.

Makes sense
