I got me one of them 'fancy degrees'.... it, and $3-$4, will get me a beer in 'some' local bars. (turned out when I graduated, the demand for philosophers was ummmmm.... down.

Most of my life I have been under-employed. I worked delivering papers, checking in grocery stores, working as a carpenter's helper while getting that fancy degree, loading boxcars with canned goods (big muscles!) and being a beginning cabinet maker.

Oh.... in that canned goods factory (Stokley-Van Camps) they found out I could read & write, and I spent a year as a bean-counter! Literally! I did inventory in a plant the canned Pork & Beans!.
