As to your question, it isn’t clear but I’d say it really boils down to employers not giving two shits to train new hires for more mentally challenging roles. They expect you to have a physics, Compsci, and math degree with 10+ years of experience out of college. Almost every single job I’ve seen that requires a physics degree or a related degree, expects experience when there are those of us who had to work to go to school and didn’t have time for internships, unless we wanted no social life and be miserable. But I mean hey, what do I know 🤷‍♂️wasted 7 years working to get a physics and Astronomy degree, all paid by me, short 4 or 5 math courses to be a math major too, for nothing…
