Most college grads are working in fields/positions that do not require higher education...and a significant portion of those that are... aren;t working in the fields for which they were educated.
I suppose it;s easy to say "get a degree in a high demand field" ofc everyone hears that too...and what will that look like in four years (if you can full time it, seven if you cant)? I don;t know why anyone would spend that time and money for something they didn;t like -beyond- what money it might make them, if it makes them any. Don;t get me wrong, I think everyone should at least go and see if it;s for them..but if bang for your buck is the deciding factor, professional certification is a better bet.
