tl;dr

Does she mention what her college degree was?
I’m guessing it was a useless liberal arts
degree that qualified her to do nothing.

Even with a 4 year BS degree, you can jump back in and, usually, get a maters in something useful.

Case in point, my brother's kid. Brilliant girl. Majored in chemistry of some kind. Two years in (at Duke) decided chemistry wasn't her thing and called dad up for a dinner meeting. At the meeting, she said she was changing her major to art history and proceeded to tell him all the wonderful opportunities awaiting her with an Art History degree.

She graduates. Can't find any of these wonderful jobs. Flounders for about a year. She then goes back and gets her masters in accounting or finance of some sort. Instantly gets hired by one of the Big Four (is it four now?) and out of the gate is making 6 figures or close to it. She is making well over 6 figures now AND has some sort of insanely popular blog on Tumbler that brings in another 25k a year.
