Um...yeah. Last week I was in a taxi and the taxi driver had been a doctor for many years before losing his job. He took what he could find. So many of my college classmates (graduates) never began their intended careers, and now they're working in retail or behind a cash register.
Though I didn't go to Harvard I was educated to believe the same thing: "The idea that attending Harvard is all about learning? Yeah. No one pays a quarter of a million dollars just to read Chaucer. The implicit promise is that you work hard to get there, and then you are set for life. It can lead to an unhealthy sense of entitlement. 'It’s what you’ve been told all your life, and it’s how schools rationalize a quarter of a million dollars in debt,' Thiel says."

I definitely think this is going to be a problem moving forward. Education in this country is stupid $$$.
