[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rule of thumb is that, if I hear anyone actually use the word STEM in an in-person conversation, I assume they are incompetent in any of the things it stands for.[/quote] What an odd thought.[/quote] Not odd to me. I'm a humanities person by inclination, but I have picked up the tech I need to do my job well. I hear a lot of parents fretting that if their elementary school kids don't learn to code, they're doomed professionally, and these are the parents who can't master squat technologically yet have well-paying careers. Even if all the careers for people in humanities and the social sciences disappeared, STEM wouldn't be the golden ticket. Ask someone with a PhD in biology how the employment market is. Ask someone who loves theoretical mathematics if that's going to be her/his career. [/quote]
