[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing has changed in the last 25-30 years. In the early 1990s, not so many HS students were interested in STEM careers. Back then, business, law, and medicine were the main targets instead of STEM careers. Since roughly the Dot-com boom/bust and the greater awareness about STEM jobs having good pay, more and more students are applying for college engineering programs, for college CS programs, and also (non-preMed) natural science degrees. More parents then started to ask schools, public or private, about StEM preparation -- particularly math. Yes, it is being used for marketing but the underlying change is student and parent interest in STEM careers. And yes, many students still want business, law, or medicine. Those have not gone away.
