    Ahhhh of course. Parents etc advice is often wildly out of date. I’m part of the generation that was told “just do any degree and you’ll get a job!” Which was totally outdated bullshit

      Oh don’t worry we were still hearing that well into the 90s and early 2000s. It hasn’t been true since the 80s but every single parent and teacher I ever interacted with all said that.
