That's like asking why would anyone go to college anywhere but Harvard. They would, but Harvard has limited slots, so you do the best you can. Also, it's weird

That's like asking why would anyone go to college anywhere but Harvard. They would, but Harvard has limited slots, so you do the best you can.
Also, it's weird you pose this as some kind of counterfactual proof by contradiction, it already happened, because "locking up the labor market" the way you describe is kind of what FAANG did, in at least a mild way, to software engineering, during what we now have to sadly call (if we rely on it for our livelihood) the good old days of the 2010s.
In fact, the dearth of math teachers in America probably has to do with this a little, for example. Shortage of math skills, and they really help getting into tech or finance, and the pay difference is huge, so, they suck all the oxygen out of the room.

- galdosdi 2y agoYou're asking how it should be or how it actually is? If the latter, have you like, actually been in the workforce? Yeah, it's a combination of luckiest, most connected, and/or hardest working, depending on the company, depending on the situation. You should know this if you've interviewed for jobs a few times. I'm really confused by your train of thought. Are you a college student?
