   Most UK uni grads not working in their field.

     @simsa03 A few years ago in the US, STEM grads had the lowest "work in field" within a certain time after graduation rate of any subject / major.
     
     Rumors of high pay attract people who don't even like the required tasks to study it anyway.

     The thing people don't always understand is that college & university degrees are supposed to combine general knowledge with field specific knowledge. In many fields, one may obtain job focused training from a vocational program and be employed in a shorter time than going to college.
     
     The uni grad's general knowledge is why we tend to make them supervisors instead of reguar employees, but there's a limit to how many supervisors can tell someone with a shovel how to dig the hole.
