I think it's fine to get a job that is in a different field than your degree. Highly competitive or very tight job markets might mean you genuinely cannot find a job in your field; or maybe you just want different work. In both cases, you are more educated than before, and that means you have a greater well of knowledge to draw on. That's never a bad thing.

There shouldn't be such an emphasis on college degrees though unless its actually a STEM job in your field. Having a college degree for the sake of it is why there is such a large issue of college debt in the country.
