>>14137205EE, ME, and CivE degree holders often get hired for low-paying jobs meant for technicians rather than for actual engineering jobs (since most of the engine and circuit design/manufacturing work being done nowadays is outsourced to China or South Korea), and other STEM degree holders get degrees entirely unrelated to what they studied. In many places, a Physics or a Geology degree is just as worthless as a Minority Studies or an English degree, especially if you're the stereotypical autistic introvert who seems to be so common here on 4chan who has no interests outside of their major and anime/video games, meaning that they never develop any useful skills aside from what they have to learn for classes or form a network of people whom they can be supported by.
