I agree, just want to add my anecdotal evidence. I graduated undergrad in Dec 2020 with a good job lined up, as did many of my friends who picked majors that had been the obvious good choices when they enrolled in college 4 years earlier. It was easy to see what career tracks would be good ideas, and the people I know who put in minimal effort to research these before committing ended up just fine. It’s not like people who picked majors with poor employment prospects were blindsided at any point. Now these are the same people who I see vocally advocating for the government to cancel their debt and cancel their rent.
I’d say I’m pretty progressive on most issues, and obviously I have sympathy for my friends that ended up this way, but I have to agree with you that one way we could end up with fewer people limping along is to just keep them from shooting themselves in the foot.
