So based on this “list” it’s obvious that that these career counselors FULLY ENDORSE that Engineering and Scientific talent should be imported from India. I didn’t see where American STEM was being recommended.
Career Counslors and their Corrupt Education system - SPIT!!!!
Was this list of recommendations seen as something surprising?
They advise students to pursue those silly careers listed there for two reasons:
1. They are ideal careers for people who have been infantilized in school.
2. These are the career paths most high school counselors come from.
I taught “Embedded Computing” in high school for three years. All of those students, the ones who participated, went to an engineering school. Georgia Tech and MIT gathered a number of my students.
No, but now it is evidenced, as is the problem with search algorithms now versus the past. Why is it the AI can readily understand and respond to the question "What careers do school counselors recommend the most to students?" while search algorithms respond with answers such as (top 10 from Bing, - apart from a PC video - much the same as others).

There are a few studies that suggest that high school advisors and career counselors spend over sixty percent of their time helping the sons and daughters of the middle and upper middle class get into the Ivies or similar named colleges.
Granted, Engineering and Scientific is a more elite field, but also typically missing are occupations "blue collar" trades as mechanics, even though that can save 10s of thousands of college debt and ensure employment.
As regards the M1-B controversy, a US resident should be employed above foreign of the same ability, but that choice is likely often made based upon expected salary.
Americans just are too stupid and too lazy for STEM careers.
You are exactly correct. High school teachers aren't much better. Teaching doesn't pay what engineering jobs pay. Only rarely would an engineering graduate teach high school.
On the other hand, students develop interest in STEM fields spontaneously. Those students find their own way, right through college.
Very little of what I learned in the college environment was applicable to my career. I self-taught by reading mountains of technical books. It is certain that such is the norm rather than the exception.
Those are the ones that go to other careers. I promise you, those of us who go into STEM are neither lazy or stupid. We have always been a minority.
Why bother with engineering or medicine or anything hard
The glue that holds a table together is a very small, but crucial, minority of the table.
Not true
I come from a long line of medical and engineering educated relatives. I am an engineer and my daughter is a nurse practitioner
“median pay in 2023 was $77,030.”
What can anyone do with $77k?
A housee in my stupid flyover city is $450k with 7% interest
The degree cost that
My degree cost me $2500 and I was making $18,000.
People my age look at $77k starting and think back to the 80s. That was a lot of
That’s a long time and many idiot money printing congresses ago
High school counselors need to get educated on careers in the trades - plumber, electrician, HVAC, custom woodworking, electronics, machinist, welding, auto repair, technicians of all types. There is a severe national shortage for these types of workers and they all today have the potential for six figure annual earnings.
In my area it is almost impossible to find a good plumber, electrician, or carpenter at any price. I know a person who spent four years in the Navy learning to repair electronics. He now has an electronics repair business he runs out of his garage with a 3 month backlog. His annual income is well over $100,000 per year. The biggest impediment to growing his business is finding another skilled electronics technician to employ.
The new administration should immediately slash federal funding to liberal arts colleges and universities and shift the money to working with the states to develop world class vocational education centers. If we are to return manufacturing to the United States we will need millions of skilled workers to build and maintain the robotic factories of the future.

“ Substance Abuse Counselors”
Yeah those addicts pay a lot. The government is a great career in peoples’ dreams
I shunned the "counselors" at school. My father offered much better advice. It was a good path that had me graduating from high school at 16, UCSD at 19. I turned 20 just a couple weeks before starting grad school in Microbiology. That year was a big turn around. I decided to shift to CS/EE. More interesting. Less smelly labs. Better pay. That was early 1977. The bookstores offered adequate material.
