How in the heck is the average salary only $37K?Nurses make like $6... show more This is in TN, but I have a friend who got a degree to work in Child Services, then discovered he could never pay off his school loans working in that field, much less raise a family. Got a job working Safety for a large corporation and never looked back. We also have many art and music degrees that don't lead to jobs. My dad got an art degree in the 70s and quickly realized that wouldn't work for a new dad. Luckily he had a talent for Sales and had a degree (which is all some palces cared about) so he was able to move up from great Sales numbers to TV station managment. He's now retired and doing art for money. He's ridiculously talented, can do anything from Oil, Watercolor, to broonze statues (really, he tries new art forms and immediately excels) and he's happy to break even. Anyone coming out with a degree in Art or Music and stubbornly trying to make it in those fields are tanking our numbers hard. The job market is pretty bad overall right now, so many new grads struggle to get hired even with useful degrees.
