STEM is such a broad category that anyone promoting STEM fields as a solution to the college debt problem is obviously just repeating what they heard from other people. There are a ton of underpaid and overworked people in STEM.

- notbob 8y agoGrad students are treated poorly, but the same 2-3 field split in STEM is true there as well. E.g., CS PhD have plentiful $200K+ job opportunities after graduation and a relatively labor-friendly faculty market. Meanwhile, many mathematics PhDs postdoc into their 40s.
- NotSammyHagar 8y agoI agree we should separate stem into maybe 3 areas. 2 are doing pretty well. programming-related fields (dev or software engineering type jobs, there's spectrum that goes to data scientist), other engineering jobs, other stem. The third category isn't as fortunate in the job market, like say a biology major. How about Dev OE, OS. Doeos? Wow, that almost works. But it kind of reminds me of nxivm though :-)
