I'm not hopeful. I am young but my experince has been that moving up the leadership or management ladder requires a vastly different set of skills than stem and if you are serious about doing it you will have to leave your stem behind, or you simply won't be able to compete.
- bassman9000 10y agoTrue. But your background lasts. Management gives you people skills, organizational ones, teaches you to listen, and a sense of duty towards your team members. Couple that to a solid technical/scientific background, and you got a prepared leader.
- state_less 10y agoExactly, you better at least be aware of some of the "dark arts" to defend against them. For one, being a provocateur can actually be a good thing, strange right? Generally, we want people of good character, integrity and intelligence to rise to the top. STEM is fine, but other backgrounds are fine too. They should inspire people so as to draw the attention away from the power mongers they will be running against.
