Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And on almost the same day, my son transitioned from college to a good-paying job. So maybe this CEO was overgeneralizing?
Or maybe your son was lucky.
Good on him though happy for the both of you 😊
He's had to swim against the current for years, through multiple wrong turns and dead ends. He's got an intense personality and was resistant to playing the necessary games to get ahead. But over time, he's become more pragmatic. So yeah, there may have been some luck involved, but being first in his class helped too. (And is it luck to have been born smart? To have persistence? To have a supportive family?)
My other two kids (older) also got jobs in the fields they did their degrees in. In my daughter's case, two of 30 people in her graduating class with the same degree as her actually found work in their field and remained employed in it a year later. Her take: "They're bougie kids who expected zero-pressure jobs with no deadlines."
Regardless, the CEO comes across as a self-serving, smug greedhead, and I suspect his messaging is not intended to benefit anyone but himself.
The CEOs are shortsighted for what to do in their business so they project that into everyone else.
Congratulations to your son. He is going to do awesome! Don't let the world tell you any different. People are resilient
The CEOs job is to serve as a shiny object and to fart out mountains of inspirational drivel. They're human LLMs.
shortsighted is an understatement, they refuse to spend time or money to train fresh graduates like they should, but instead relying on cheaper labor in many fields, like H1B visas, or someone already experienced in the fields that got there before the advent of JOB SITES Online, this excludes almost all future fresh graduates from the field.
In short, recruiting companies are parasitic middlemen.
probably the majority arnt getting into thier fields they got a degree in.
i know people with MS and couldnt find one in stem.
