There will always be SOME other jobs (non-STEM) that pay well, but there won’t be nearly enough of them compared to the general population.
The white men are done whining; they’re walking away, and now everyone else gets to function without them (while providing for the imported replacements for the children the white men won’t produce). I’ve personally benefited with the advancement of tokens in the “diversity economy”; I get to work like them, and I’ve honestly never had such a great work-life balance. Because many of them are a bit older than me, my main concern is what happens when they retire or die off; am I going to have to work hard like I did ten years ago? I certainly don’t want their jobs; then I might be expected to answer an email or cellphone after 5:00 pm.
Interesting. And this is the private sector, right? Because I am a late Boomer and my understanding had always been that it was Slackers like you and even more so Millennials of course that killed the business work ethic.
