<p>I think certain folks on here get upset when others don’t share their opinions which is what most of these threads are. Now as for facts, this country no longer produces the number of jobs in a variety of LA majors to support the number of kids graduating with these degrees. Facts industry leaders in STEM including Bill Gates repeatedly testify before Congress of the impending shortage of qualifed candiates in the STEM fields in the next 15 years and the disastarous effect it will have on our economy. So for a child who is unsure of a major or their path in life, what is the harm of SUGGESTING that they consider a STEM path if they are so inclined to do so. It gives that kid a chance to see if it is for him or her and if they decide to pursue it a pretty good chance of obtaining a job once they graduate. Rant over I apologize for cluttering these boards with common sense.</p>
