Citation needed.
I personally know people (20s to mid 30s) who are simply unhappy that they did everything they were told and couldn't get jobs in their field, and can't afford a house (so they rent one and which pays for somebody else's mortgage).

The oft repeated argument was you're a better candidate for high level jobs with something like an English degree than somebody with no degree at all, which turned out to be pretty terrible advice. I only had one teacher who said that was a terrible idea (he compared it to a degree in underwater basket weaving).
