Mostly the first three, I suppose. The particular field I’m in has some interesting developments I’ve done some cursory reading about and a lot of potentially very cool, but underdeveloped applications I’d like to get involved with and help move forward/develop. Additionally, a lot of the higher paid positions I’ve seen in the field tend to list high level graduate degrees as a requirement.
- jqpabc123 5y agoSounds like you are in software development. The most practical way to fame and fortune with STEM in America is entrepreneurship. Elon Musk doesn't have a PhD. Bill Gates didn't even have a BS. The point being that down where the rubber meets the road, ability supercedes credentials and running your own company is the best way to demonstrate ability. Corporate America has a poor track record when it comes to acknowledging and rewarding STEM --- hence the reason they have to literally beg kids to become their technology slaves as China kicks their azz.
