I suspect a day spent at Starbucks or Barnes & Noble or many, many bars would turn up a fair number of people with nebulous degrees not at all related to coffee, books or booze figuring out where it all went wrong.
Lastly, I recall listening to the radio (NPR) laying out stories of students being denied financial aid to attend programs that were pumping out students with no employment (or loan repayment) prospects.
