<p>From the time the kids were in elementary school I involved them in many STEM activities and did a lot of teaching myself. I treated arts and humanities were treated more as hobbies for them. Both DW & I have STEM careers and provided enough exposure while they were young that all three now are pursuing STEM careers. While we wouldn’t have pushed them to a specific field (DS didn’t take a course in BIO after 9th grade, and we weren’t upset), I certainly wouldn’t have encouraged them to major in a variety of fields.</p>
