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.
so ... you don't have any evidence of this.
