I am glad to see more kids are realizing there is no money to be made in art, english, history, etc. I've seen too many people rack up the debt just to work at Wal-Mart or Target when they could have just done that to begin with. Not that the trend is shifting, but there absolutely is an over abundance of people in STEM that has begun to reflect itself in society. I mean, the whole idea of "STEM OR GTFO!" isn't a new concept and has been prevalent for the last decade or so, so you're beginning to see that the majority of those people are facing the same issues that those in the social sciences and such faced. Basically, there's not enough jobs for all the kids attending and graduating anymore A lot of jobs just require bachelors degree not giving a fuck what you majored in. Yeah STEM is getting to the point that unless you went something specific like electrical engineer you need a 3.6 or higher GPA if you went mechanical since now employers are interviewing like 80 candidates for one mechanical engineering position. And people who actually enjoy learning engineering probably got the highest grades versus people who went into STEM simply for job security. You're simply not going to perform as well as people who naturally enjoy the subject matter. They are more motivated to study and it comes easier to them. Oh I agree entirely. I just see it often with people I grew up with and a lot of those younger than me who went to college with the mindset of "STEM major will guarantee me a job!" who are in the same boat as anyone else who went to school. And I really feel for them because I imagine the debt for some of these degrees is a hell of a lot higher than others working the same jobs as them. Not to mention that automation in general is going to drive plenty of them out of work, if they are even able to get a job to start. Basically I'd like to see a system where both the government and banks just refuse to give out loans at the rate that they do, as they damn well know that these students won't pay them back or if they do they will be into their 50s. As well as a refocus on the trades and jobs that are still requiring on the job training. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXezjbuzh14 <cite>The Great Muta 22 posted [p:906892080] in We have wa...
