One of the problems is that one of the few growth sectors has been health care, which is driving the country into bankruptcy. It's not surprising that RN's can get jobs, because they are needed somewhere every hour of the day. On the other hand, there is a lawyer surplus right now, which is killing employment opportunities for recent law graduates. I also remember all those college students who slaved to learn computer science, only to remain unemployed because the H1B visa system was replacing them with low wage coders.
