Do all the stuff you'd wanna do in a huge multi billion dollar per year profit company. Eat the company funded lunches, have my expenses covered, have a chilled office life and a great rewarding career

The best part is, this is the bottom of the ladder. I've already had offers to work for politicians in London and am now in a position to apply for jobs in international organisations and banks etc because of my experience. I tested the waters the other day and had a genuinely positive experience in attaining interviews (that were realistic, so perhaps not amazing pay to start or whatever). I never took them because atm I can live at home, save my money and not worry about rent and bills.

It's great being 22, having the money, having the responsibility, and even having company cars/cards/laptops and the works.

My point is this. Some autistically insecure people with a STEM degree will say you'll never get a job, you easily can. Just don't give up and swallow your pride doing the shit jobs for a while.

I found a niche market, focussed my skills on that and applied for a job way out of my league, got to interview, the least experienced candidate there, and the rest is history.

Don't buy the meme, if your skills don't automatically help, get some free experience / internships and big them up. If you get rejected don't worry, it's not the end of the world and just because some people won't see your potential, doesn't mean that nobody will. I look back and am so thankful that even shitty offices rejected me because I would never have got what I'm doing today.

Good luck to anybody with one of these degrees. Keep dedicated, focussed and the rewards will come.
