The professor told them after they already invested years, they will end up unemployed. They did not, because their skillset was valuable somewhere else.

Unemployed as a semicon guy. I doubt the professor meant they wouldn’t get a job as a fry cook

The way op told the story, the professor meant what he said to humiliate the students (despite he likely knew, they would be wanted in other professions). And a fry cook is not quite comparable to a software engineer.
