<p>The article isn’t really talking about that problem at all. As I understand it, it’s talking about people who had direction and got training for specific careers, but for whatever reason don’t have a job commensurate with their training. It could be someone who was a doctor or lawyer in his home country who is driving a cab here (after being forced to emigrate for some extraneous reason). Someone with an MFA in dance who can’t get work other than as a waiter. The father of one of my kids’ friends, who was a university professor in the Eastern Hemisphere and a building custodian in the Western Hemisphere. This has been a mounting problem with young people in southern Europe and the Middle East – there are a lot of people with MBAs or other types of business degree who are in their 30s and have not ever really had a management-type job.</p>
<p>In my own experience, I know or have known quite a number of people trained as lawyers who have chosen to teach high school – starting with my own mother, for many years – and not one of them has ever shown so much as a hint of depression.</p>
