Doing something easy rarely pays off. The road to hell is the path of least resistance.

- Bakary 6y agoIn this case it won't pay off either. It's a hard job market for mediocre engineers and many STEM fields don't even pay that much better. The vast masses of people are already on the road to hell from birth no matter what choices they make in their lives so that expression ought to enter its retirement years
- eloff 6y agoI disagree that STEM fields don't pay any better. I think it's clear they do. Nature vs nurture. It's a mix, it's not all decided at birth. You always have the power to change your outcome. Many people will never exercise it effectively though.
- Bakary 6y agoI said many STEM fields don't necessarily pay better, not STEM in general. Obviously engineering/software/quant stuff pays off as long as you are motivated (a suprisingly large hurdle) I was thinking of various sciences like biology, pure maths, where it's heavily dependent on your location and other factors.
