[quote=Anonymous]It seems like the only people that start these threads are immigrants, kids of immigrants or have working-class/lower middle-class backgrounds. I can understand their position/argument as they do not have the social/cultural capital and income security to take a different view about college and social mobility. My spouse is successful (STEM) and comes from a working-class background and is a child of immigrants. This is how he thinks about the world, which I have learned to accept and understand even though I don't agree based on my own experience (UMC, humanities degree from an Ivy). Luckily our kid is all STEM but even so, my spouse still ranks STEM majors and doesn't think some areas are worth pursuing![/quote]
