[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am glad his ex wife got away from this loser and I hope she gets married to someone great soon so she can still have kids.

You sound like a nightmare MIL.

And wtf did he think he would do with a masters in European studies??[/quote]

It should have been obvious from the start that he might have a long path to finding a "meaningful job on a career path that is perfect for him", that's what happens with majors like that.  You have to be flexible, take any job you can that provides any experience and work your ass off to network and forge a path towards what you want.  Those jobs don't just drop in front of you (like say it might with a Mech Eng or CS degree).  He got a Masters in it, so he had to have known this was the case.  
Sounds like he hasn't put in the work to get there yet and isnt' willing to pivot (which is what most successful people who got humanities degrees have had to do---nobody is putting a job posting for an "MA in European Studies" that just isn't happening
