Are you senile? We did this about a month ago.

What is even your point? That chart is about 50:50 technology:useless stuff.

the point being that the popular refrain has been to 'do computer science' or 'do STEM' as common sense good advice.

when really it connects to no reality in any job market in the west any more.

A lot of tax breaks and subsidies that the Biden admin put into place as part of the CHIPS act either expired or were clawed back by the Trump admin for tax breaks. Then the DOGE thing happened and a lot of the Federal governments technical people got fired.

So there was a double whammy to STEM workers.

We literally did this already, pay in STEM is a lot higher and there's generally less underemployment in STEM.
There are the odd standouts like comp sci, but generally no.

i don't think you grasp that an entire generation of people graduating today aren't going to find 'high-paying graduate STEM jobs'.
