It's a farce. The Obama daughters won't go into STEM anyway, rather finance or law/politics. (S)TEM is for Suckers who enrich those I just mentioned, or so says this cynical, middle aged electrical engineer.
Despite both parents being engineers, my 9 YO wants to be an ophthalmologist. The guy who runs the LASIK clinic down the street drives a "Lambo", despite the actual LASIK being performed by a machine built by those (Suckers)TEM.
- carsongross 9y agoSure, but suing companies that don't have enough female engineers is certainly a lucrative future direction to pursue. I do not expect nursing programs to be affected.
- crawfordcomeaux 9y agoYou spell "capitalism" differently and with more capitalized letters than I do.
- madengr 9y agoHa ha, down vote me all you want. "Bad math teachers drove my kids out of STEM" or so says mom who is a Harvard law grad (Dad too of course). I'd say it's even more laughable than Melania Trump and a fucking Hour of Code. I'm sure Chelsea Clinton must of had a bad math teacher too, otherwise she wouldn't have gone into finance, married a hedge fund manager, and ran a crooked foundation. STEM is a way out, not a way up.
- DrScump 9y agoDoesn't being a medical doctor (of whatever specialty) fall under "Science"?
- madengr 9y agoProbably yes and no. An MD in NIH or some other research facility, sure. The guy cranking through LASIK procedures, no. I'd call that the service sector. Though it's obvious where the money is.
