The great part about entering a miserable field where everyone is quitting is that you can at least get hired. The bad part speaks for itself

I'm a computer science major. If I graduate after the bubble pops, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I remember one role where they listed a maths degree as essential; turns out their idea of "degree level mathematics" was calculating standard deviation and variance.

Generally, even if a job suggests it's in your field, you're not going to spread your wings much. I do think this is part of why people hate their jobs so much - they trained hard, learned so many things, and then got dumped into microsoft office and "doing things as they've always been done" because some arse in HR was unicorn hunting.
