So the question is: Should people become STEM for the money, or because they actually could and bring something that's valuable to the fields of Science and Mathematics. (devils advocate)
Because I can't really applaud someone who only went after a STEM degree to get bread just to turn around and shyt on people with what they would call "useless" degrees, while their main concerns is simply just to inflate their back account and not utilize their skills which society could benefit from.
A bit of projection on my part through. Just I alwayswhen people tell me their becoming a doctor, teacher, lawyer simply for the bread. Maybe I'm just naive still.
Coli stem grads just care to shot on other blacks on the coli and type "6 cert,6 blah blah"
I couldn't do it even though the sciences are interesting to me(meh, can do math, prefer not to.)
This is definitely something worth getting into while you are still in high school, but so many people drop out it isn't funny. Not everyone is built for the workload, much less the kinda work they will do when school is up. It isn't nearly on the same level, but copping my first office job keeps me on point with sharpening other skills, cause I definitely don't have it in me to sit through it for long. Imagine chucking cash at stem and finding you abhor it.

Robotics and genetics are the future.
You gonna need certs to repair them ribitics....
Cert gang always gonna go bang bang,

But robots will become so advanced that they'll be able to repair other robots
Disnt read the article but werent blacks said to have low employment even with stem degrees
Yes. Even when they control for education blacks are much more likely to be unemployed than other races.
Study STEM if you're passionate about it, but don't assume it's a ticket to a secure, middle class life.
If you're going into STEM for the money then I wouldn't advise it. For one, all the people who I've seen with that mentality burn out after year 1, year 2 at the latest.Lmao I'm only getting a STEM degree for the money so I can help my family. Idc it's hard.
Just got a 3.668 GPA last semester doing a STEM major. Doesn't matter how hard it is if you really want it you'll make it happen

Bc I knew a lot of people at my school who were engineers but had little passion or even interest in their major. They were just chasing thhe nice salaries and that's it.
Mfers were cheating their asses off coming up with cheat schemes when they could've used that time to actually learn the material
Granted ever body cheats once in a while but cheating on every single exam including the final is a problem
Then on the flip side you got the apathetic folks who just don't care. I remember tutoring a group of dudes in differential eq. And I'm not gonna lie it's kinda disheartening when you're trying to teach step by step how to solve a problem and dudes is on their phone or just slouched in their seats
I can't speak for everybody but I know I can't be around that type of energy. I need to be around some Hustle minded people with passion (pause). Not just folks who just try a simply get by just for the ca $h

had to get that off my chest

In your atmosphere
Most people hate math, so the average person is not built for STEM.
Yeah itd be nice to see more black people in stem fields but if you don't care bout the stuff you're learning outside the classroom and are not good at math don't do it bc you'll be depressed very quickly
That's what I'm saying breh. The people who constantly cheat their way through are the worst, especially when you have to work on group projects. They can't do shyt and you can't even teach them enough to get by because they aren't interested in the first place; it just places unnecessary strain on the rest of the group.
Good luck using amphetamines. Like I said, burn out by year 1, year 2 at the latest.

I'm not smart enough for that shyt
Yet certs will still exist
So you think the education your average black youth is getting is preparing them for STEM?
