> How does one have a STEM degree and not have a job?

This can't possibly be a serious question. In today's perpetually feeble job market, there are talented folks everywhere with STEM degrees (and experience too) who are unemployed, under-employed, or working in jobs unrelated to their field of study.

I think it's a serious question, but with a pretty easy answer.

People with STEM degrees who don't have jobs are stupid. There are no "talented folks" with degrees and experience that are not stupid and don't have jobs.

There are fucktons of jobs for STEM people that aren't being fulfilled because of the lack of suitable candidates.

That is probably the dumbest assertion I've ever read on HN.
