The 99% placement of medical schools is not a "troll", no. There is no reason it could not apply to CS.
Also note that most of the points made in contention would apply just as well to medical schools and medical school graduates. For instance, there are plenty of unsocialized medical school graduates - they are still called doctors. But if they studied STEM, they're supposedly "too bad to deserve a job". Weird.
I'm leaning more towards there being an oversupply of STEM graduates.
- lmm 5y agoI'd flip that around: there's a huge undersupply of medicine graduates, because the medical establishment very deliberately limits the number of students who are accepted. And while that does ensure that it's very easy for a doctor to find work, there are huge costs - huge competition for admissions, excessive working hours (with correspondingly high rates of burnout and suicide), routine interpersonal toxicity, spiralling prices for medical care that damage the rest of society.
