the Census bureau estimates they earn, even with a full-time job, $2,000 less in real dollars than the same age group made in 1980. More millennials, notes a recent White House report, face far longer period of unemployment and suffer low rates of labor participation.
Meanwhile, if you graduate in a trade, engineering, or construction, and prove to possible employers you can
1) pass a drug test
2) show up to work on time
3) move for the job if need be
4) would be willing to start off working outside
They are literally throwing job offers worth great money at anyone with a pulse.

Meh. I graduated in EE in May '15. Started looking for jobs 3 or 4 months prior. Didn't start an engineering job until January 16. Applied to tons of jobs all over the southeast/midwest and had a good GPA. And I don't make great money. It will probably take me a about a decade before my salary hits 6 figures.
I know that I was a bit of an outlier with the long wait to get a job, but I think that STEM = easy to get a great paying job is overblown.
