Why does some people act like STEM major is everything

[IAmGettingAMailOrderBride]

i get how its the future but not everyone like doing that type of stuff, most people are only going to be good/great at things that they like to do.
how would you feel if I made a country where if you cant dunk a basketball on a 10-ft rim, then your denied every opprotunity of a decent life.

Not everyone likes doing that type of stuff, but STEM majors and health related majors are valuable. Way more valuable than a philosophy major. I think that going to college to major in things like humanities, anthropology, sociology, and etc is pretty much worthless. The only time I think it's ok is if you plan to continuously conduct beneficial research, become a tenured professor, or use that degree in relation to furthering you career (becoming a dean, becoming an occupational therapist, a principal, and etc).

fukk what people say



If you wanna go to film school than do that shyt.

The problem is most people really don't like taking chances.

Yeah, you might love filmmaking and want to become a director in Hollywood. But you could get a STEM degree and get a job quicker/not have to live like a bum until you get your big break.

Because they're one of the most employable, with some of he highest starting salaries, and endless opportunities after starting a career.
If you don't like math, science, or technology then pick up an easy major like Finance or Business Administration or something.

Finance and business Administration are on two different levels. You was better off saying marketing

That other thread got you in your feelings, huh? To answer your question, the only people who typically make a big deal out of STEM majors are the ones who aren't in it; within the STEM majors, there are the nerds who are upset at everyone/everything else and try to put others down, but that's another story. These days, there's also a big push by the government to get more people in those fields. I agree that it really isn't for everyone; no point in pursuing a field you have no interest in.

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

People always big up fields or careers they aren't actually involved in for a variety of reasons , thus setting up delusions for parties interested in pursuing.

I was taught to always follow my passion, so I actually enjoy waking up in the morning headed to my career as oppose to just treating it like another job.

But people are different.
