I studied Spanish and English literature and linguistics undergrad in W.Europe. I made the conscience choice to move into STEM during my postgrads. Now I am pursuing a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning. The tuition fee was about 900USD avg. per year so there was no financial pressure on me to change academic careers: the choice was ideologically driven. Allow me share you my experience at the humanities faculty: I had always enjoyed the arts and literature but from year two I noticed ideological and methodologically harmful trends in the humanities: the staunch rejection of empiricism, the politicization of academia and near universal adoption of radical left-wing ideology. Researchers more often see themselves as activists at the cost of scientific methodology. Theories were completely divorced from social or natural reality. Established professors did not know how to do basic statistical tests, and have no problem getting published anyway.
