Remember, you asked for our two cents, so here it goes.
I have a degree too, and I work in industry. I'm a manufacturing technician in the petroleum industry in Houston, Texas. We actually produce things. We make things and we sell them. I've always been proud to work in industry, creating products, and not sitting at a desk shuffling papers and sending emails all day. Yes, I know a certain amount of paperwork is necessary to get work done and do business; I have to do some myself. Our secretary is just as valuable an employee as those of us who run machines. But the heart of our company is production, our parts, our output.
You have to choose between honest work, in other words, making or selling or fixing things, or teaching others how to use them, versus becoming part of the big dirty evil shell game played by big banks, finance companies, investment brokers, stock markets, etc. that just make money off of other people's money without ever contributing in any way to the advancement or well-being of their fellow man. In fact, they frequently do just the opposite: millions of lives have been ruined, jobs lost, houses foreclosed, marriages broken, savings vanished, and even whole countries submerged in misery and poverty, all by "finance".
So, I would suggest that you look for a small company that actually does something useful for society, and work for them. You will undoubtedly get paid less, the company ladder may resemble more closely a stepstool, but at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing no harm to your fellow man. You might even do some good, and you might even bring someone into or back to the Faith.
God bless you and good luck to you.
