[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister majored in stem at a top school and is getting laid off tomorrow from a company who pays excellent and whose products you use daily. She's a top performer and has been there less than three years. STEM isn't a security blanket. Along with her another 100 devs are getting canned (she's not a dev). This is just the tip of a massive hit that'll come down in sept. No she's not at IBM. STEM is a guarantee of nothing.[/quote] My brother, with a STEM major, was laid off about three months ago after over ten years with the company. He received six months severance. He landed a job paying almost 20% more within a month of losing his job. His secret: he made sure to keep up with the latest technological advances in his field. STEM does not offer any guarantees of stability. Keep up with changes in your field or you will no longer be marketable.[/quote]
