[quote=Anonymous]I don't think STEM majors do not learn how to think critically and write--at least all of them. I majored in biochemistry, and I did plenty of writing in college, as well as a lot of intense critical thinking and independent research as an undergraduate (I went to a SLAC though; I TAed in graduate school and at a research university the way STEM classes are run is a different story). But I don't think that everyone needs to major in a STEM field if they are not talented in that area, or that it serves everyone well and that kids with humanities degrees are necessarily destined to poverty. I find all this emphasis on majors as a direct vocational skills to be a bit misguided, because in reality, among my peers who are in their late 20s and early 30s, people are finding success in a whole range of areas, especially those going to elite schools.[/quote]
