Yes...but about their sophomore/junior year, many, many college kids say to themselves...”Gee these STEM classes are rigorous, I think I’ll be an Econ major and go into Banking instead, (or medicine, or whatever).”
The results of thousands of students making that decision, is less engineers/programmers.

I have five kids, a programmer, an engineer, a chemist and a math/econ so far. All kids have great jobs. The chemist had the hardest time getting a job because H1-B workers are in all the labs. But the engineer and math/econ majors are nothing but high paid spreadsheet analysts. Understanding simple statistics and how to use Excel with queries or pivot tables gets you a great job. You still need some college degree just so your employer can say their staff all has college degrees.
