ok break down the supposed STEM degrees. How many in each discipline?
Ask Trump - he thinks the fact he presented is telling.
There are not enough ENGINEERING and COMP SCI folks
So we have too many science (S) and math (M) folks - none of whom can do engineering or tech?
When we do find them, they're costing more than $150k per year.
And American workers shouldn't be paid that much?
The numbers are bunk when broken down...which is why Trump was right to soften his stance on this.
And generally, unless you're a psych graduate who also knows how to code or set up infrastructure or databases, no, you cannot do that work.
On the price - let em make as much as they can. The good ones are 3x-5x more efficient and productive than offshore resources.
“So we have too many science (S) and math (M) folks - none of whom can do engineering or tech?”
Of course not.
Math courses are completely different than engineering courses. The different engineering disciplines aren’t interchangeable either. I have a BS in metallurgical engineering. Nobody would hire me to do electrical engineering. Nor would I want to even try.
I can’t believe you actually had to ask that. Would you go to an orthopedic surgeon if you had heart trouble?
