Lots of truth in this post. The majority of people I know (30's age bracket) are working jobs that are not in the field they have a degree in. Some of them went back to school, and still have shitty retail jobs or part-time work. That, or they travel hundreds of miles during the week to work on location somewhere. I was lucky to get into programming (as a hobby at first), but as we all know, it's not for everyone. Especially, if you only get into it because you think it's lucrative. My Dad fell ass backwards into a blue-collar factory job when he was 18, and supported a wife (who worked part time sometimes) and 2 kids. This was literally par for the course in the 60's-80's. That's upper middle class these days, at minimum.
