let me know ? :ohhh::ohhh:

for example

you get a Chemistry degree, there are barely job growth
1. Chemical engineer - 3% job growth from 2014-2024
2. Chemists - 3% job growth from 2014-2024

you get a Mechanical Engineering degree
1. Mechanical Engineers - 5% job growth from 2014-2024

Civil Engineering degree
1. Civil Engineer -8% job growth from 2014-2024

Electrical Engineering
1. Electrical Engineer - 0 % job growth from 2014-2024

this is coming from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

:ohhh::ohhh: so God ain't blessing the STEM nikkas ?

OP can you explain how relatively small growth in STEM fields means that pursuit of degrees in STEM majors is not worth it. You asked a rhetorical(?) question, posted a few statistics and then just bounced.:smugfavre:

How did you get from those stats to the idea that STEM majors aren't worth the time/money?

Mechanical Engineering grad and I would still do it over


( dont work in the field anymore)

school is not about getting a job, its for learning how to learn.
