[quote=Anonymous]We are scientists and doctors, and we won't push our kids in any particular path. Our oldest is interested in international law and economics. Our second doesn't know what he wants to do yet, which is fine. What I like about STEM disciplines is the logical reasoning that students practice. It makes for more rational adults. I feel they are less likely, as a group (of course, there are individual exceptions!) to be led astray in conspiracy theories, or participate in social judgment tribalism, such as cancel culture reactions. But there are other ways to reach this: law is one of them (yes, I know, there are crazy lawyer politicians in full display in Congress). Anyway. For me it's the intellectual rigor during training that's important. Not the end job. [/quote]
