graduated in 1974 during the "Nixon" recession, and took a job that I was vastly over qualified for. It is hard to break out of the "pink collar" ghetto, so I had a succession of crappy jobs until the advent of computers in the mid 80's. I was qualified for admin assistant positions, and worked in that field until 1994, when I started my own business, where I finally used my English degree to write resumes. It's very easy to get stuck in low paying jobs that are beneath ones own educational level. I know - I lived it.
