This article is a macro (not micro) agression on Dorkbama the Muslim Eunoch, all liberal members of congress, all SJW cretins, and the MSM, since none of those idiots could pass the STEM freshmen courses, let alone the hard stuff.
Why work your tail off for a “STEM” degree when they’re only going to off-shore your job before you even get your student loans paid off?
In other words: We’ve tapped out the public taxpayer for money, now we are targeting businesses to give us even more money.
Did Allen West start a new nonprofit? This is an unusual subject for him
They completely killed off the Healthcare sector, now they need to suck the blood out of a new victim.
Look out Engineers!
80% of STEM graduates do not work in the STEM world for more than 5 years and half never do AT ALL! Why? BECAUSE THE JOBS ARE NOT THERE!!! And we import thousands who are willing to work for very little compared to the going rates of just a few years ago. I graduated with engineering degrees 20 years ago and the starting rates are essentially within a few thousand dollars.
yes, public private ‘partnerships’ (meaning a government hand in your education)
Because government is so much wiser then everyone else.
I wonder how much time students working towards engineering degrees have while they are protesting and demanding safe spaces? It has to be a distraction.
Then again, engineering students are probably too busy for the silliness and are probably busy keeping their noses to the grindstone as all students should be doing.
The first step toward teaching science is teaching the Scientific Method.
That will never fly, because it would be too obvious which “sciences” don’t follow it.
A lot of it is cultural. It ain’t cool to work too hard in school.
This is BS. Ask recent STEM graduates about their jobs, and they’ll tell you about enormous downwards wage pressure from H1B hires.
Is There a STEM Worker Shortage?
America Has More Trained STEM Graduates than STEM Job Openings
During the sixties protests there was a joke where I went to school.
At Columbia, the students took over the ROTC building.
At Berkeley, the students occupied the Dean’s office.
At Newark College of Engineering, the students were too busy studying.
Nobody who actually works in STEM could honestly say there is a ‘STEM shortage’.
Or just import a HB-1 that you will have to train in your job.
These are traditionally male interests.
Males are & have been chased out of higher education by the Fembots.
This is a byproduct of MGTOW.
One good point made in this article - preparations for an education and career in STEM need to start at least by the beginning of high school, when a student gets to choose courses. University-prep math is a must. Depending on the field one wishes to pursue, physics, chemistry and biology are also required. For example I knew years earlier that I had no interest in the life sciences, so I skipped biology, but the other three were prerequisites for engineering. High school chemistry is typically a prereq for university chemistry, and likewise for physics. Engineers need both - and biology too if they think they might want to pursue studies and a career in biotechnology.
If a student has these prerequisites (and decent grades in them, of course), pretty much any course of study in University is open to them, from arts and education, physics, chemistry, biology, to graduate subjects like law, medicine, dentistry, nursing (yes, even nursing requires a background in the sciences).
Exactly and it is still true today.
Unless a person was brilliant and can party into the wee hours and skip classes and exams to attend a protest marches, your typical engineering student is too busy.
One of two points that I was going to make.
My other point: The STEM classrooms at the universities around here are stuffed with foreign nationals (predominately Red Chinese) and there aren't many seats available for Americans, particularly straight white male Americans.
