Since you have a four year degree you can always find a job at lower lever and gradually climb "up", plus you can always get Master's degree in something else. There is lot's of programs out there that can take college graduate and train him/her for a different occupation. My best friend,has an aviation degree, quit his pilot job and became medical sales rep. making 65k the first year. He went through a 6 week training program and now he makes triple the FO pay with weekend and all the holidays off. There is a lot of possibilities out there. Even an aviation degree still makes you an "educated" candidate for plenty of jobs if are willing to put a little more into it.
