My son's had a data science type major (different name but mix of CS, math, stats). He had two offers in Fall semester and starts a data scientist job next week.

Harder time than what?

Since your post specifically says a job “in their field”…I guarantee you that every humanities, physics, math, etc. major is having an infinitely harder time because last I saw there aren’t many history, philosophy, physicist jobs available (nor were there ever).

Education. There’s teacher shortages so it’s fairly easy to get a job, but it might not be in a good district.

Civil Engineering. Infrastructure contracts have been in the pipeline for years.

My DS graduated with a degree in Math and Secondary Ed and received a job offer within a week of his very first interview. He wanted to work in a private high school and was offered a much higher salary than he was expecting - he accepted the job.

A better question might be: which students are finding gainful employment in jobs that are better than they would have gotten had they not attended college?

Many many students do not work “in their field”. I never did, not even close. But I’m doing great and liberal arts problem solving and critical thinking skills have helped me.

STEM degrees also teach critical thinking skills, btw.

This and nursing or any type of healthcare. Any jobs where there is a severe shortage.

Yep. Math teachers are in high demand. Too bad we have a hard time convincing young people who are good at math to become teachers.
