Being a broken down 23 yr old former junior hockey star does not provide the same opprotunitties as a 23yr old University graduate, even if your major is Political Science.
Given where we live many, just like any young single guy end up in the oilfield, so with that to fall back on the risk is different, but AB and SK would be the exceptions. "...****ing Chrysler plant, here I come."

Also, it sure would suck to have to move to Switzerland and work for a lousy 90K to 600K Euros. Probably a lot better off with a Political Science degree and 50K in student loans.
