I never understand when people post this type comment. What if your child is not a STEM person and you know they are not going to be computer scientists, engineers, etc. They can still have a meaningful and employable career in a non stem career.

We all wish that were true, but it’s not.

I’ve got news for you, the leadership and people running the companies that employ your stem majors are more than likely non stem. Marketing, sales, HE, PR, communications, finance, accounting, legal, product management etc., most likely not stem majors. Heck the CEO probably isn’t either.

Yes business major from top schools are good.

Most of those people are not from business schools either!! You all are really clueless.

You think those positions prefer a random major? Stop kidding yourself.
Yes school prestige matters much more for these than STEM if that's what you mean.

Nope not true. No one gives a rats arse where you went to school once you start working in the corporate world. It’s about your actual job performance not your college or major. Yes. You could argue a top school opens more doors for the first job out of college but after that, nope.

I am in executive search, I know of what I speak.

For example, UPENN or Cornell history might have a good shot at some of these, but Wharton and Dyson would dominate.

And with solid connections and top 10 degrees in non-Stem.

As a first Gen student (with federal loans) back in the day, I just could not take the risk of majoring in a humanities subject and instead chose to major in something with more of a guaranteed job but a lower career ceiling. My child has way more options.

Technically non-STEM I suppose.

Some get lucky, but it's all about probability.

Economics involves a lot math.
You would take Calculs and statistics for business, but it would be too much of stretch to call it STEM.
