<p>It is easier to find and hold down a math or science-related job than a non-math or science related job (English, humanities) these days.</p>
<p>Agree / Disagree?</p>
<p>And by non-math or science related job I mean jobs that require college degrees from fields such as English, humanities, and the like (e.g. lawyer)</p>
<p>lol ada. i disagree. a stem major isn’t for everyone. there’s more to life and jobs than just being an engineer or a doctor. my teacher’s friend got a degree in psychology and now works for a big advertising company (making big monaaay too). the job you have after graduating college doesn’t always have to focus on your degree/major ~~ </p>
<p>everyone has different strengths… a math genius probably likes math because there are formulas and remembers the correct steps that it takes to solve a problem but when it comes to critical thinking about a book, he or she doesn’t even know where to start.</p>
<p>I’m not sure this is the correct forum/site to learn about careers–high schoolers don’t have that kind of experience.</p>

Please do not post about topics that you are unfamiliar with. Math geniuses certainly do not like math because they’re good at memorizing stuff.</p>
<p>yeah biology may be memorization. but math is definitely not memorization…</p>
<p>I disagree. Math and science are overrated. The future lies in studying ethnic groups. Is this not obvious?</p>
<p>^LOOOOOOOOL hahhahahah u speeeec</p>
<p>
Every time I go on to one of these threads I want to defend the Humanities majors, but then one of them will always say something ****ing stupid like this.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol indeed…people these days smh</p>
<p>Take this to the College Life forum.</p>
<p>Depends on the field. It’s not much of a secret that getting a job as a chemist is harder than ever. In the non-STEM corner, it’s also getting harder to find a job as an economist. Still, you’re not limited in jobs in these fields simply because you majored in them.</p>
<p>I woulda thunk that engineers would be expendable. We’re still talking about job security, right?</p>
<p>There are more jobs in academia for STEM types, but otherwise, I wouldn’t say there’s a hard&fast rule. Unless you want to be a high school teacher, I wouldn’t force yourself to major in a STEM field.</p>
<p>cormy has entirely too many puppets these days.</p>
<p>These debates are the high school equivalent of 4th graders talking about sex.</p>
