    That is so out of touch that I feel like I am having a stroke.

    There is a lot of qualified people with “commercially viable” degrees that can’t find a job, or the job they find pay like shit.

    Companies want over qualified people for shit pay, and they want you to go through 5 interviews because that’s what the cool companies do, and get offended when their ridiculous offer gets rightly rejected.

      They aren’t trying to “be like the cool companies”, they want their labor markets to feel saturated and laborers desperate for work so they accept lower pay.

      Sure, but the point is, however bad this problem is for the more ‘viable’ degrees, it’s 50x worse for the social sciences, arts, etc. I have a belief EVENTUALLY the job market will turn around for engineers, but I do not ever think it will turn around for history majors.
