When I was in high school (vocational) studying to be an electronic repair technician, I thought I would retire from that job a very wealthy man. Two realities caught up with me and the rest of that career field pretty quickly. First, the throw away revolution. Second, a bloated job market (DeVry was as common as McDonalds for a while there). I'm glad I didn't mortgage the farm on a degree in that field. The Navy was kind enough to give me a "free" education instead. I guess if you have a perfect job, you had better start looking for the next one.
