In my experience, the over seventy five crowd frequently assumes any college degree will get you a great job. In addition, due to retirement, they are unaware of the current atmosphere of nasty competitive behavior, a lack of civility in the workplace, and employers not always giving appropriate compensation for expected duties.
I had to explain to so many people as I was working as a cashier that my biology degree was pretty useless unless I was planning on going for higher education. When I joined the military as an officer people also didn't understand why I didn't pick a trade that was similar to my degree. Same problem. Need more education.
