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!!!!

“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.

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.

Interesting...in 1988 my son’s school counselor recommended he not go to college. (Do not remember him talking of an alternative.) He tried college for a couple quarters...and told me “college is not for me.” So, he went into his paternal grandfather’s trade...carpentry. He had done some in summers. A few years later he went out on his own, after asking me to fund the “Bond” he required. I said sure...lot cheaper than college education. At his 10th HS class reunion classmates complained of meager salaries as accountants, etc. He was supporting a wife & 4 kids and doing better than them. Fast forward to now...he has been Operations Manager of a $24 million construction co for about 10 yrs...and doing fine.

For all the good and mostly bad high screwl counselors do they need to be on the chopping block. AI certainly has a social slant doesn’t it?

No engineers, physicist, chemists, doctors, software developers in the group. I think I see why we need H1-b. Mostly feminine, government centered jobs.

School counselor = idiotic advice of what not to do. STEM is the future and wasn’t on their list. Of course they can’t spell SPEM or even know what it is. In the 1980s I met with the useless yet highly paid person once. I was told some BS recommendation yet got a BSEE.

Whether I recommend a career as an engineer depends on your interests, skills, and long-term goals. Engineering can be a highly rewarding career, but it also comes with challenges. Here are some factors to consider:

Why Choose Engineering?

1. Problem-Solving: Engineering involves designing solutions to real-world problems, which can be intellectually stimulating and fulfilling.

2. Diverse Fields: There are many branches (civil, mechanical, electrical, software, etc.), so you can choose one that aligns with your interests.

3. Job Stability and Growth: Engineers are generally in demand, especially in fields like technology, renewable energy, and infrastructure.

4. Competitive Salaries: Engineering tends to be well-paid, especially in specialized or high-demand areas.

5. Impact: Engineers often contribute to innovations that improve lives, from medical devices to sustainable energy systems.

Challenges to Consider

1. Intense Education and Training: Becoming an engineer requires strong skills in math, science, and critical thinking.

2. Continuous Learning: The field evolves quickly, so staying updated with new technologies and methods is crucial.

3. High Responsibility: Engineers are often tasked with critical projects where mistakes can have significant consequences.

4. Work-Life Balance: Some engineering roles can involve long hours or high-pressure deadlines.

Is It Right for You?

1. Do you enjoy subjects like math, physics, or problem-solving?

2. Are you curious about how things work and how they can be improved?

3. Are you willing to commit to a rigorous education and continuous learning?

4. Do you value innovation and practical applications of science?

If these resonate with you, engineering could be a great career choice! Let me know if you’d like advice on specific engineering fields or paths.

In other words, those who don’t produce anything but simply try to help those lost in modern society.

Pretty much by definition, someone with a “passion for mental health” shouldn’t be charged with aiding others’ mental health.
