If it makes you feel any better, I have a degree in journalism and I graduated in 2008.
I've never used it. 4 years of college and tens of thousands down the drain for no discernible reason, only to graduate in the worst recession in a century and subsequently never getting hired in my field.
To add insult to injury, the few peers I know who did "make it" are working terrible hours, weekends, ... and they make peanuts. So maybe my failing was a blessing in disguise? It might be the same way for you.
