Inquisitive education is great for people who’re independently wealthy or academically exceptional.
But the average person takes a real risk of underemployment with that approach.
A friend of mine with a degree in marine biology works as a barista, another with a philosophy degree works as a retail assistant.

As a non-wealthy, not particularly bright creative writing major, the focus of your degree only holds you back if you let it, or if you are utterly unwilling to work outside of your focus area. Tech, especially, has an absurd number of on-ramps for anyone willing to do the tiniest modicum of extra-curricular work.
