“get a degree and you’ll have a job” backfired
The opposite is fucking people over lately too. Pure coding jobs are passing people over because they don’t have literally any degree and it’s insane. 10 years of experience but no degree? Pass. Fresh out of a bootcamp and a bachelors in music? You’re hired!
It’s about rewarding people who paid into the system and punishing those who did not.
Oh. There’s been a time when I thought this happens in ex-USSR, but not in your cowboy lands.
Let’s be real, a lot of people got in in the hopes of appeasing “the market”. What “the market” wanted, and still wants, is an excess of qualified people, so they can more easily pick, choose and abuse the workers. This has been the case for ages.
The government pushed propaganda to oversaturate STEM to drive down the cost of skilled labor.
It worked as intended.
AI propaganda
It didn’t backfire for employers. I’m sure newly-minted coding boot campers depressed wages for everyone.
