My brother took a job at a clothing retail chain after college graduation (LAC, art major). He started doing the displays and windows because he has an eye for that and his education improved it. An exec at a well known designer liked the windows and gave him his card one day, less than a year in. My brother met with them and rose to VP within a few years, now owns his own company. Yes, an anecdote and I have many more. I personally studied sociology and never worked in the field. The field I do work in literally didn’t exist when I was in college. The sweeping generalizations about baristas do get tiring.
