You clearly don't have much exposure to the stem bubble. Overwhelming majority are passionate geeks.
- kelipso 2y agoHa ha ha. I have a CS PhD and am friends with grad students in many other STEM fields. There are just as many who are "passionate", or whatever geeky losers who waste their life obsessing over minutiae want to be called, as there are people who are working on their degree for the sake of practicality. I would say the latter are in fact generally more successful.
