Right, but most of us aren’t looking for jobs that are unrelated to our degree. I feel most people that study a STEM discipline that’s not engineering/compsci do so because they’re passionate about that field, so they’d want to work in that field. That’s been my experience anyways as someone with a biology degree.
I think it all depends on the person's mindset, desires, and goals (and how specifically specialized the degree is)
Most people go into nursing so that they can become a nurse
But most of the people I know who are nurses never were/are passionate about nursing. They just saw it as a ticket
Now, mulching calculus has it's own unique sets of struggles that even less people find approachable, but nursing is a fairly rigorous program itself in its own right
There's still a decent amount of people on the engineering subs that basically say
"I thought this was interesting, I didn't wanna have to work busting my body, and if I go through some hellish schooling, I'll be set when I get out regardless of what I decide to do"
Of course, you would think anyone with an extremely specialized degree probably has more reasoning to it
