I have a physics degree too and i can tell you it’s not as easy as you make it out to be…not unless you’re willing to work an ungodly amount of hours for very little money for years and years until you can actually be seen as qualified.
Unless you go into the financial/consulting sector that is, as that’s basically where all the cushiest jobs for STEM graduates are. Most of the rest just end up in IT where they do the same job anyone with basic programming skills could do.
This narrative that the right wing likes to spread about “oh just get a STEM degree bro and you’ll be fine, the only reason you’re struggling is because you have a worthless liberal arts degree” is pure nonsense, it’s just not the case anymore.

This suprises me. Where are you from? In Germany having a STEM degree is pretty safe, especially if you have a PhD.
