[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s been left out of this is [b]most STEM majors don’t work in their field either. They also become lawyers or get their MBA or whatever [/b]— which they never needed their STEM majors for. Or, their work is ultimately unrelated to their major as well. [/quote]

Yeah...I'm not sure it's fair to say that most STEM majors don't work in their field.

At UPenn they say 34% of engineering grads don't work directly in their field (with many going into finance/fin tech/consulting etc.).  However, a CS kid may go work for a hedge fund writing trading algorithms...[b]which is still fairly related to their major.

In any event, 34% is many, but obviously not most.

Yes, & in that 34% they include engineers who go on to med school. Still stem, and more and more engineering undergraduate training is very relevant to medical careers (procedure based fields, interventional rads, cards, ortho.). More tech added to med school and residency training every year)[/quote]
