This is unfortunately why stem and advanced degrees are a meme. Not everyone can or wants to STEM and if you added a million more capable STEM grads all you would get is cashiers at the grocery store who can code in PERL. Or they can just flood the labor market with visa holders who copy and paste from GitHub. Or you get a scenario where only 1 in 6 law school grads can find work as an attorney, or the med school grads end up in low paying family practice or outpatient clinic work, too afraid to give even an aspirin and just fondle nuts all day for sports physicals. Manufacturing has to make a comeback and you would think environmentalists would want durable goods produced domestically that don't have to travel the world over in shipping containers, from countries with nonexistent environmental standards that use the cheapest and least durable materials possible.
