Indeed. My son who is a double major in Computer Science AND Electrical Engineering and is in his senior year AND is also prepping to take the PE test has companies contacting him on a regular basis.
He has turned down most of them. He is intent on working for a Defense Contractor in a southern state. His preference is Texas. No Income Tax.

I have tons of technical degreed folks out of the work force and looking...they are older, usually with advanced degrees.
Finance, Information systems, even traditional liberal arts like history, have jobs waiting if they are willing to work. But they have to show up, turn off the phone and plugs out of their ears. Oh, and a suit and dress shoes wouldn’t hurt either.
I retired at 53 in 2015 but my long-dormant Linked-In account has been having hits of people looking at my resume. I was even offered a job.

My daughter used her GI Bill to get a BSN degree. She also went to community college first to lower the costs. Got an AS in biology.
After graduation, the jobs were lined up.
Those days are over, Ravi has your job now.
