I disagree with this. For any given field, sure, there are jobs, but how many jobs are available relative to the number of people with the appropriate background and experience?

I know a guy who has an anthropology degree from Harvard. Even with the Harvard degree, he couldn't get a job in his field. At one point he was painting houses.

What your degree is in absolutely does count, especially for that first job out of college.

Crystal, good luck!
