I doubt very many STEM majors have a lot of trouble paying back their school loans, no matter what color God made them.
—————————
74% of STEM graduates cannot find work in their own field. The Cheap Indian Labor Express ensures this.
Why should anyone be forgiven their student loan debt? They willingly took on the debt and they have an obligation to pay it back. Why should Joe the Plumber, for example, see his tax money go to someone who borrowed $200K to get a gender studies degree, when Joe went to trade school to learn his occupation, and no one is talking about forgiving his debt?!
Add to this ‘reparations’, which, by current trends, will be for ‘b’lack, latino, LGBTQ, American Indian ... etc., and we will make us all equal, as debtors to China, grinning like that grand Panda, Xi!
So entitled kids that went to college get a pass and those that did not and went on to do dirty jobs get nothing.
She has paid the loan off and will not benefit if something this stupid goes through.
Socializing debt. An idea whose time has come! Nyet, tovarish?
This does not mean they can not find productive and good-paying careers.
I started, with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in 1972. My first job was doing research on manufacture of fuel for nuclear reactors -- pretty close to chemical engineering.
Second job was development for a company that made electrically conductive polymers -- getting a little further afield.
Retired 13 years ago from a major aerospace company where I was a project manager in their optical sciences department. Not much chemical engineering in there.
But, I accumulated 20 patents over the years, chemical, mechanical, electrical and optical engineering. So lets just say a STEM career can be rewarding even if it isn't in your own field.
You missed the WHOLE point. Without the Indian OTP and H1B trash in this country, these 74% of graduates could work their fields. Yours is a sample size of 1. And being forced to work at Walmart or Starbucks is light years different than working in a related field as you did.
Recent graduates and industry veterans alike are locked out of this entire field due to extreme Indian racism, nepotism, cheating and favoritism.
I guess a patent in flipping burgers is in their future.
