[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got decent grades in math and science (even took both AP Calc classes in HS) but STEM wasn’t my strength. I didn’t have any desire to be an engineer or a doctor. Could I have forced my way through? Sure. But I wouldn’t have been happy. My husband is an engineer/govt contractor. I work in a nonprofit. Yes, he makes more money than I do. Doesn’t matter because I enjoy my job and I like knowing that what I do makes an impact for those in need. [/quote] And we need plenty of people like this!! Not everyone can be or should be STEM/Medical. People need to do what they like/love. However, kids choosing majors/careers that pay lower need to know that going in. So don't take 100K+ in student loans if your job will start you at $40K and you will likely never top $95K. And know that you need to live a lifestyle that your income can support. Set your expectations accordingly.[/quote]
