I watched this happen in real-time, though not at a university. I graduated with a network admin degree (AAS) right around the time the market was collapsing in 2008/2009. I watched as all the in-house IT jobs vanished and were replaced with cloud offerings as I worked on my degree. They had to cut costs, I get it, but it meant I couldn't actually do anything with the degree. All that was left were outsourcing firms that wanted lots of experience if they were hiring at all. Good thing a state scholarship paid for most of it. I did at least get a little better at math and a lot better at writing while getting an introduction to economics. Those non-tech prerequisites fixed a lot that K-12 broke. I lost all interest in a tech career as my confidence in other areas grew. Tech was just the obvious track after running the family's network at home.
