- CydeWeys 11y ago"STEM" is so all-encompassing as to make a lot of generalizations about it useless, one of which being that we have a "STEM shortage". Yes, we have a shortage of some fields that fall under the STEM umbrella. Not so for other fields. It's not a useful statement to make.
- logfromblammo 11y agoWe have a "TE" shortage and a "SM" excess. The math field is being cannibalized by tech and finance, and the only sciences doing at all well are those with direct applications to healthcare or war materiel. So if you throw the existing 'M' in with the 'T', and replace it with an 'H' for Healthcare, then fold the remaining part of the 'S' into 'M' for Military, we might have a "METH shortage".
