[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STEM degrees from state school is a dream for middle class. [/quote] Is this mentality keeping the MC from reaching the UC though?[/quote] Totally. But MC STEM majors look for jobs at stable big companies, because working at a cool startup or founding their own company is much riskier — and even one month without a paycheck could mean disaster, eviction, etc until they have worked for years to build their own emergency funds. They usually can’t live at home since their parents likely don’t live near the high paying jobs. And the idea of pursuing a law degree, medical degree is a terrifying amount of debt. Finance might be good fit, but pedigree is a problem there since finance bros give side eye to poor culture fit. [/quote]
