What does "working after high school" mean? Some people with no college 
have to drive Uber, some people get "jobs" with their Daddy's firm and 
never really work a day in their lives.

The rehab offices are full of guys who went into the trades and got 
injured and have to retrain for something, anything else.

Charts like this tend to ignore how huge a factor networking is in how 
you do with degrees like communications and psychology, you could be 
waiting tables you could be making high six figures it depends (like 
many other fields) who you know, who you impress, who you can get set up 
with.

Lone wolves in their basement like the average Zerohedge reader are 
obviously going to struggle with that aspect of job seeking.
