The irony is now that the situation is totally inverted.

My STEM degree has got me making a barely livable wage while the GEDs who went straight into a trade are making twice what I make.

And the cruel reality is there is not a good way to determine which way this market will go unless you're one of the 0.01%. And if you were it would make this a mute point.

What STEM path is barely getting by? Programmers and engineers are highly sought after employees rn.

Was told this nonstop through college, took me a year to find a job paying me way less than most people's engineering starting wage

Are you in a city with limited STEM opportunities? That has a lot to do with it. I was having an impossible time getting a programming job in my hometown, because they are a behind the times, po-dunk city. I had to move across the country to an area with a thriving tech industry to finally get my career going. It's unfortunate, but where you live heavily impacts the job opportunities.

Nah I'm literally in Denver lmao, things are looking better now but every single entry level position must be flooded with applicants or something. So much ghosting
