They should, as should anyone else, apologize for choosing fact over political correctness.

The way I see it, it demeans the sciences, as the “dream” is the arts, and the “what I had to settle for” is engineering and botany. YMMV

“A ballerina yesterday. An engineer today."

Why has there always been this great push (pressure) to get girls interested in Science/Engineering, etc.?

Study what you want to study, not something that's forced upon you...or when you get a full scholarship.

I could not imagine going into a field of work that I hated.

If a girl wants to become an engineer...great! But why force it upon her simply because it is a male-dominated profession?

This is so ridiculous, I don’t know what to say.

So much stupidity, so much farce, so much shallowness.

And all contrived to dumb down the population by people who are so totally insane that their one overriding obsession is to rule a planet of slaves as gods.

The world needs engineers.

Ballerinas? Not so much.

This suggests that they want people who can repay Wells Fargo loans. Engineers can. Starving artists, not so much.

Why should Wells Fargo apologize?

So many people are artistic that the chance of actually earning a living at art is pretty low. But the employability of a scientist, engineer, accountant, etc., is very good.

My advice is this: Go with your talents and desires, but do the market research first and go with whatever has the best job opportunities. Even if a subject is not your favorite, you will develop more of an interest in it as you spend more time with it and time around others who are genuinely interested in it.

I love French language and culture, but the majority of job opportunities were in the sciences, so I chose to become a scientist. I do not regret it one bit.

Wells Fargo—drug money launderers.

If you are over 40 years old, that engineering job will be given to an H1B visa Indian or Chinaman and you will be working at Walmart.

I know a 16 year old ballerina who is a 3rd year college engineering major. :)

The bank said it gave $93 million last year in support of the arts, culture and education.

Why are they apologizing? Did they give more money to engineering and science?
