If you think the crisis does not affect STEM degree holders, you are mistaken. There was a study commissioned by OPSE (Ontario Society of Professional Engineers). The findings directly contradict this oft-repeated wisdom that STEM degrees (or at least T and E in STEM) are a guarantee of a good life. If you have the time, I recommend that you read the full report. Here are some excerpts: > only 29.7 per cent of employed individuals in Ontario with bachelor’s degrees or higher in engineering were working as engineers or engineering managers. > A further 37 per cent worked in professional positions that normally require a university degree. > Those who were not working as engineers and were working in positions that don’t necessarily require a degree made up fully 33.3 per cent of the total. In other words, there are more people with engineering degrees who work in jobs not requiring any degree at all, than there are people working in engineering.
