The challenge here is the instructions were not very clear. All they said was go to college. They didn’t tell you what to study, and it turns out there aren’t a lot of jobs in medieval literature, gender studies, etc.
How many people do you think majored in gender studies? The biggest field by far is STEM. Engineers, scientists, mathematicians/physicists, and IT still find it hard to find a job and are facing unprecedented layoffs.
(probably not that) Hot take. But I think that not having everyone study STEM or “productive” (by capitalism’s standard) studies is a good thing for the world.
Sure, philosophy doesn’t pay. But is the world better with, or without, people who study philosophy?
Sure but it doesn’t explain why teachers need to flip burgers as a second job, or why doctors and lawyers are drowning under all the debt.
