A degree in what?
Does it matter? The US graduated over 2 million people with bachelor’s degrees in spring of 2025. How are all those people supposed to find jobs?
Yes, why wouldn't it matter? Do you think economies maintain demand for every conceivable degree equally, year after year?
My implied claim here is that there are more people graduating with degrees in every major than the economy can fill jobs for in any of them. Youth unemployment is rising! Trying to find a job is really difficult and even degrees once thought “safe” (such as CS) have stingy employers who think AI will replace the need for training fresh graduates.
You might think “oh that’s fine, people who studied other subjects won’t care about CS people.” But if those CS grads can’t get CS jobs they’ll look for other jobs, increasing competition in other fields. This can have a domino effect throughout the youth job market.
Okay.
My question was what field does OP have a degree in?
I dunno. OP can still answer your original question above!
