I find it surprising that you haven't found a database-related job willing to pay well into six figures. There's a great demand for PostgreSQL and Mongo developers right now. Unless you're tied to really outdated technology like Cobol or MS SQL Server, I can't believe you haven't found something if you're seriously looking in this particular field.
Hehe cobol is in demand by large companies... they never upgraded out of it and everyone who learned it is retiring so they are paying well for who is left

It's needed but not as in-demand as people make it seem.

You're right, I'm a complete idiot with completely useless skills to boot. That's why I can't find anything. Thanks for the heads-up.

I think that you're a bit harsh on yourself. And I think the previous poster was rude by implying you might not have attained skills beyond outdated technologies like Cobol or SQL Server. I see lots of db opportunities in the city.
I feel sorry for people who believed a science degree would be there salvation in the job world. I see many unemployed or marginally employed people in these fields. People who studied their asses off in these competitive majors and then end up working $15/hr contract grunt work in labs before getting laid off. I think you're better off majoring in liberal arts. A Philsophy degree is just as employable as a Biology degree and with the former you at least can party for your 4 years in college.
Biggest hoax? When Chinese students are hard working/studying in University, American students are in bars or hooking up chicks. That is the difference.

True, but even if they study hard and get a 4.0 GPA, it does not guarantee anything in this economy, depending on where you live. Ten years ago maybe, but not today, it's called CHANGE and it's for the worse!
There are now “missing” 15 million from the employment statistics today in 2016, and thus the overall economy. They are missing because they can't find jobs and that includes STEM graduates.
