Nursing, teaching, and marriage, you mean.

Yes, all the women rave these days to be with unemployed men.

Engineering will always be good. AI will not replace most jobs, we still need people who can think and craft the projects, and who will use AI to accelerate the work.
Critical thinking is always needed

My DS got a good job at an advertising company a few years ago right out of college. He paid off his student loans and is now saving $$ for a down payment for a home. No grad degree.

Success at times like these (as well as in the good times) really boils down to the individual efforts. Finding an "advertising job" requires hard work, motivation and focus to find. Kudos to your DS! hard workers will always find a way
