[quote=Anonymous]New PP here.  OP, I totally understand where you are coming from. I think people are getting sidetracked by your pathway While I do see how they find that pathway ironic to your post, they are missing the main point (which you could have made without giving your story, btw). Not every degree needs to be STEM with a $$ value assigned to it. Nor does it need to have some direct line to medical school or to a high paying tech job immediately out of college. Students with liberal arts majors also succeed in life....and some even go on to be doctors and tech people!! My undergrad major (which was STEM) had nothing to do with the consulting job I got out of college. I went back to grad school (fully MERIT funded - paid $0 and received a stipend) and that consulting job helped me a ton in both grad school, and even more so in the jobs I got outside of school.  I think people focusing on STEM and ROI have a limited view on life and the range of job opportunities out there.[/quote]
