Jewess,
I want to go out on a limb and say that in a sense Chasidishe or other boys without a degree are more flexible since they aren’t constricted to one job-market,they can try to jump into the market and succeed at whatever it is they try.
Also, alot of the people that I went to college with have changed careers for one reason or the other.If they are let go in today’s economy, they have a problem looking for their niche.
