Poor planning on her part, apparently.Many on the right, particularly tea partiers, think that degrees are useless.
They can be, when they're in useless subjects. Get a degree in something that actually prepares you for a career, and you're good to go. Get a degree in something that prepares you only to teach that narrowly-defined subject (14th Century French poetry), and you're going to have an exciting and fast-paced career in the food service industry.
True. I have a liberal niece who is getting her PhD in medieval literature. The only thing I know she can do with that is teach college. If that falls thru, she has experience as a Starbucks barrista and a daycare worker.
