I suggest that you do some research to see what others are making out there. You would be quite surprised.
That may be true if you majored in underwater fire prevention, Nepalese basket weaving, business or aviation "science" for your undergrad.
If you majored in something worthwhile, like math, engineering, or some of the sciences (not the social type), then you can get spooled up and back into worthwhile earnings in as little as 2 years.
It might take going back to school for a bit, but it is completely doable.
