well the thing is, the employers actually cut corners because they dont want to train a fresh graduate in whatever field you are in, they dont want to pay too much, and they are lazy to train you from the ground up(aka apprenticing). hence why you see all these listings as 2+years and skills you never heard of for low-level jobs in your fields. ALso stem employers love H1B visa holders over domestic students. trade schools is not for everyone, mayb if you began after HIGH SCHOOL it might be preferrable, but if your older with some conditions, it might be more difficult.
also some stems have a significant preference/geared towards a specific gender too(as in actual help to get into field).
