You're not wrong with generalist degrees, but degrees where you are something at the end still need that base training.

You can't just walk into an civil engineer's firm and start building bridges.

    Even the PhDs have issues finding work that pays enough to service loans and live. And if you find such a job in the US it's probably a military contrator or mag7 who are all more on board with nazism than 1930s VW.

    Engineering bridges is a good metaphor but the US's bridges are in rough shape and any money that could be spent on repairs or designing new ones will go to Raytheon to blow up bridges in Iran.

    Stupid times we live in.

    Do you know anything about what the PhD situation is like in other countries? (I'm considering one and am currently located in the US and based on my initial findings it does look similar to what you describe.)
