How is the AM industry right now? (U.S)

I am taking an Additive Manufacturing program in March, it's called ATDM. Someone had posted on reddit many of the students in the AM course had trouble finding a job. Not sure if it's because the program doesn't teach enough or because the industry itself not hiring. Here are the certificates the program gives:

Autodesk Certified Associate – CAD for Mechanical Design OSHA 10 – General Industry Haas Mill Operator NIMS CNC Mill Operator NIMS Milling: Programming, Setup & Operations Level 1 SME Certified Additive Manufacturing Fundamentals

Are these enough for an entry level AM job? Should I switch to welding/CNC?
