Well, over here, unemployment among university graduates is significantly lower than among their not academically educated contemporaries. Of course, it depends on what you have studied and how far you have gone (Bachelor, Master, Doctorate). Still, academics are less and shorter unemployed, from a statistical point of view. I concede though, that you might take a different decision, if you have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for your education. A crime, in my view.
An acquaintance of mine who holds a degree (MA, actually a Magister) in comparative literature now works as a call center agent for about EUR 9 per hour (pre-tax). Small market.
EVOLghost - We call those MINT disciplines (STEM subjectes?). I think you don't have to worry. My government would embrace you - i don't know, if that's based on reciprocity, though.
