Your 100% right. Although admittedly in america, our lack of stem focus partially comes from the cult of money. Brilliant would be scientists and inventors are financially pushed towards the business, law, & finance fields.

Reminds me of a guy from a top comp science program getting paid to be basically a secretary in a finance firm.
