My own personal experience is that a degree can be and often is a roadblock to employment.

So many of the help wanted signs are for food service and other customer related positions. I had a MS and couldn't get a job as a McDonald's manager because I was 'Overqualified'.

It's a matter of applicant to position match. If you can't get transportation or have wardrobe, you're not a match. If you're laid off from NASA (or Twitter) you're not a match for stocker at the Megamart.

That's why the minimum income makes sense. In either case body and soul are kept together until a match can be made.
