I only feel the need to pose the question: Why do people bother spending eight years of their life, and get a $100,000 in debt on graduate school, only to be unemployable at the end

Well yay for posting....and many hugs. You are doing something I wished I had the courage to do! And you would be surprised what you are capable once out in the working world. Things have a way of working out in the strangest of ways.

...That being said, I hope we both win the lottery. : D One can wish!

It's very true that more specialized education does not equal good jobs. It's a long haul ahead of you but if you persevere with getting work experience (even if it's at shitty McDo or Petcetera) then suddenly your education will be that much more valuable come the better jobs. Just don't stay at Petcetera for years and years, keep up the job searching. Businesses like people who have work experience, and education tends to get in the way of getting that experience. Once you have the other part of the equation, though, then you'll find more meaningful work.
