@dfbdfb Well, while not everyone should study STEM, we need more students to do so on the whole to keep/retake our place as the world’s premier technology/research powerhouse which is pretty much the only way our economy can adapt to the realities of the 21st century. Too many people dismiss the value of a STEM education in my opinion.
You always hear people say that you can study a humanities degree and then pursue whatever career path you want, but I’ve never heard anyone say that for a STEM degree. I strongly disagree with this, as I believe a rigorous STEM degree instills the critical thinking skills that are necessary for any successful career. I myself don’t plan on staying in the technology industry forever.
