Agreed the idea that "everybody study STEM or get a PHD" is flawed, not everyone can have a white collar job with a high salary. The goalposts will just move, look at SK for example almost every millennial there has a collage degree yet still many of the college graduates that went to less elite schools work at 711.

Also in China art graduates make more than STEM graduates since a STEM grad is a dime a dozen.

Are all art grads in China that well off or only the few rockstars?
Of course not. A random google search led to this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/307262/china-average-ann...

Saying arts major earn better than techies is like saying professional sports are more promising than tech jobs. Both are gross negligence of stats.
