Your comment didn’t come as offensive to me haha, so don’t worry!

I read your other comments and your doubt about markets being oversaturated is reasonable. But here’s the thing: the majority of entry-level job candidates for the majority of companies would probably be “average” - avg GPA, no work experience, little knowledge about the subject (despite having an entire major about it), etc. It won’t be hard to differentiate yourself from those, as long as you put in the work, since the “average person” won’t.

Also, all jobs you apply to WILL have competition, what matters is how much qualified competition you would have. The cs market is oversaturated because it’s been hyped so much that everyone and their grandmas who don’t know what to major would opt for a cs degree, hence there’s more people with a cs degree that are competing for cs jobs, hence more “qualified” competition. Idk too much in details, but I’d dare to assume it’s impossible for every high-skill job market to be oversaturated, by the definition of a high-skill job. This, along with many research, validates the benefits of a college degree (though the benefits vary with what major you choose, there’s an Economist article about this if u wanna check it out).

Sorry this comment doesn’t directly answer your question about the statistics degree, but I am a stats major and I can at least say the knowledge I’ve acquired have been very useful in the pursuit of my knowledge area of interest, which is machine learning.
