That doesn't surprise me 

Well if gawker rants make them feel better about their ruined dreams, let them have at it. We don't need that here though.

You're too young to be an Old.  The STE part of the STEM market, and there's indications of problems in the M too, is all fucked up too.  Loads of scientists are having serious difficulty obtaining positions after graduation, even including post-doc slave labor.  Source: I read an article.

any.
i'm from the computer science field. at this jet leavers conference were also jobless biologists, chemists, etc...
engineering (and then maybe only certain types) seems to be the only true graduate employing field.

at this conference actually, the key speaker, some british academic, had the view that it was people with BAs who had the better prospects in the future job market due to all the BSc jobs being doable by Indians for cheaper

Right.  Because Marti rants are so much more valid.
