My question is, do you see a future where the tech job market will grow fast enough to absorb all the grads, or will many of them have to reinvent themselves?

I think that knowledge of specific application domains is one way to differentiate. Broaden your areas of interest and demonstrate some relevant experience.

Don't get me wrong, it's not like they'll have to give up on tech entirely. They'll just have an easier time going into less demanding and competitive roles that equivalate to the calibre of whatever jobs those other grads go into. Or will be required to specialize early and put more time into their learning.
I mean as someone in the UK who landed a SWE'ing job last month (without a degree and with 7 months of learning programming and building my own projects) It's more doable and easy than you think. Just don't trust a university to give you a portfolio of experience that employers will be impressed by. Get on your ide and build, test, and deploy stuff
