They shouldn't but they DO. The Ivys have always been "humanities" "liberal arts" schools, where a history degree can get you a job at Goldman Sachs. Why? Because if everything posted in this thread: prestige, connections, generational money. Unfortunately, we are losing stem talent to Wall Street..START PAYING STEM and the stem schools would be as "prestigious" as the Ivy League. Are Asians better at stem? I think on some level, not sure if it's genetic predisposition or cultural but they do score higher on STEM based standardized tests. Spoiled white kids skate taking easier classes and then land the big $$ job, that is really what's going on here.
"Start paying STEM"?

Your premise is flawed on nearly every point.
