What lie? Some people have tech jobs. If I tell you plumbing is a good industry to get into why would you infer a job is guaranteed?
If the president, media, teachers, influencers, the richest people on the planet, and my parents say it? I probably would. I think it's disingenuous to imply this wasn't strongly recommended as the ideal way to get a high paying job straight out of college that only improves over time.
Where is this inferred?
