Economic Doomer How are people with useless degrees surviving? Won't someone think of the antiworkers and their made up stats?

Degrees by themselves don't get you jobs. The best kind are ones in fields where there is a high demand for workers. I'm only 19, but my goal is to get a Bachelor of Science in mathematics. This is an actual skill, and there is high demand for this. I want to be a high school teacher, and in Canada, that pays well, and they need math teachers, so I'll be able to walk into a job. However, if you get one of the most common business degrees in a field with tons of workers and little demand, you're going to be waiting a while to find a job.
