The short answer is: If you are NOT training your child starting in middle school for STEM, they are NOT going to make it.
I was writing papers on nuclear fission in 6th grade.
Spent most of Elementary to High School bored out of my skull waiting to get to the good stuff.
I was lucky my dad started me out early with electronics.
We already have thousands of laws, regulations, and interest groups to give women every advantage imaginable.
Feminism DESTROYED females
>> while the Media is focused on Kellyanne
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
The parent companies ignoring this bill: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner.
Last data I saw showed females are already a MAJORITY of students taking STEM classes in college. The only Engineering degrees that they don’t dominate are Mechanical and Computer. And, they’re close in Mechanical.
It’s time to start focusing on the REAL problem: Why boys aren’t going to college.
Let me tell you that when women get a STEM degree, then they find out what the job entails, they prefer to get a desk job as a data analyst.
Two of my daughters graduated from top universities, one with a Chemical Engineering degree and the other with a Chemistry degree. They flipped out when they saw the entry level jobs. The first one who graduated from Johns Hopkins had to don overalls and steel toed shoes as she inspected a refinery 50 miles outside of Baton Rouge. That didn’t last too long before she got a job creating graphs and charts for Pentagon brass.
The second one simply said, I hate labs. This came her senior year of college. That was $200,000 into her education. Now I did insist that they get a math or science degree. And I let them pick anything they liked. But I never thought that they would pick majors that did not lead them to a job they liked.
What I learned is that girls can do the math. They can get the grades. But many of them don’t like the jobs. Its not that they don’t want a job. They just don’t want those jobs. And that is not to say that all women are alike. But many women don’t like engineering jobs. Even if they can do them. However I have noticed that the job of doctor is one they do like. And now there are more women M.D.’s graduating than men.
So our sons who are now working and sacrificing to get these STEM jobs in a few years based upon strict qualifications are automatically at a disadvantage now, because you (or Ivanka?) presumes some kind of discrimination to women. Where’s the evidence? Or it just doesn’t “seem” right?
The white boy is already at the back of the line when it comes to hiring. By law.
Shame on you.
Trump you misogynistic bastard! /s
I have a STEM degree, Chemical Engineering. I went to work in the computer industry as first a programmer, then a manager. At the time I graduated, there was enough discrimination against women in the field that I could not find a job as an engineer.
I stopped working outside the home to raise and home school my children. My favorite question was when someone would ask me, “But what are you going to do about math?”
I have since retrained to work as a mental health counselor.
What percentage of men who get STEM degrees are working in STEM jobs?
All the men should wear black suits tonight to show their satisfaction.
is this for biological women only, or do we have to anticipate a bunch of men pretending to be women will be out to grab the program advantages away from biological women (like they are currently doing in sports)?
I wonder how much this hare brained scheme is gonna cost us.
Affirmative action is not equality.
