[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most posters so far acknowledge we Americans are undisciplined, lazy, and look for the easy way out to a trunk full of money.  The ends ($$$) justifies the means.  No surprise here.   We are now getting a fight for those sought after spots in Big 3 private colleges and universities.[/quote]
You're assuming that only those who go into STEM are disciplined and hard-working.  I'd bet those who went to law school or business school -- and are successful at it -- are extremely disciplined and hard-working as well.[/quote]

Agree. STEM majors who go onto law school often don't do very well. There is a misperception that they are smarter than liberal arts students. It is an eye opening experience to students with STEM undergrad degrees who end up doing very poorly in law school. Just because you don't have a STEM degree doesn't mean you aren't smart or hardworking. I think if the lib arts students who do well in law school really wanted to pursue STEM majors, they could do well.[/quote]
