IMO this effect is reinforced in education where beyond a Batchelor degree, you start learning more and more in an increasingly narrow scope.
(Ex: met a PhD engineer whose thesis was on the rate of corrosion of X material in Y medium, I forget the specifics, but I couldn't help but think that this guy educated himself to where there might be 5 jobs in the country that could make use of that knowledge)

When I worked construction, I don't even know how many times we've raised the point that architects and engineers should have to work at least 2 years in any trade.
Honestly, I'm not even sure STEM degrees hold the value they used to have when entrepreneurial trades people can make the same as a doctor, maybe more. Without the 50k+ of typical debt.
Agree wholeheartedly :)
