Are CS graduates the boomers of the current generation?
Many of my millenial friends tell me how hard it is to find a job but I can't at all relate to their problems

Despite the insistence of modern universities to dumb down CS courses as much as possible, you still need an IQ of at least 115 to realistically be able to make it through such a course. This still puts you at least one standard deviation away from the average normie meaning that you will have a significantly easier time standing out.
Also worth noting that most jobs these days only exist because cost of living in some areas is low enough and desperation high enough to push salaries below the cost of replacing the people with software or machines. Or because machinery/software is not advanced yet.
So overall, if you're not the one automating, but are instead the one being automated, you're fucked. You will be treated as a disposable worker with no real unique value.

What about non-STEM degrees though? A friend of mine studied geography and wasn't able to find any job with his degree, so he became a clerk.
Also, regarding your other points, I would like to mention that there are still many low IQ jobs that can't be automated away, mostly those that require a functional human body or empathy, as automation is not yet able to replace these qualities

Yes but candidates for low IQ jobs are in abundance which is why salaries are going to be low.
Your friend studied something for which there is no demand and he couldn't find a job? What is the surprising thing here?

His boomer dad studied the same and had no problem getting a job

Boomers were playing easy mode and geography was dead the moment internet became accessible.
Why the fuck would anyone ever had to study what city is in what country when you can find it in 2s online?
Like 50% of school subjects are made obsolete by internet yet they still teach it.

>geography is about memorizing cities

You're an American/European in a well off country coming from a well off family and are probably white and middle-class or up.
Your experience of life is far removed from anyone else. There might an average smart pajeet out there that could actually be doing a decent job in your place but will be cleaning human shit from the street because he can't get a visa or stuff like this.

Sounds like a problem his own people created for themselves as a result of their own culture.
