This lying has been rampant for decades. Higher Ed was a big part of it.

Anytime the "shortage" theme got going real strong, the government would give grants to higher ed to "train" the missing people. They'd create new programs, ramp up enrollments, and burn a whole other cohort. After seeing it happen over and over, I couldn't be part of it anymore.
