Depends on the field, doesn't it? Some fields, like History, don't open any opportunities other than academia. Other fields, like engineering or medicine, basically lets the student practice their field in industry and commerce.
If studying a certain field means that the only thing you can do is teach that field, then that's a pretty sure way to go into poverty.
