HALF LIFE of STEM
STEM careers have a half life of only a few years.
By the time you approach 40 years or 35 years old,
you had better be well into your stable career of auto mechanic or heating/air conditioning.
STEM operates on 1 to 3 month Projects, but real mortgages are 30 years for a house. Houston, we have a probldm here.
Do not do STEM.

Friend, I’m sorry you experienced this. In STEM and probably most other disciplines, you have to continue learning and innovating. If you dont, you will stagnate, to be sure.
I have recast my career at least a dozen times in 30 years, and continue to do so.
I was unemployed for 45 minutes once.
In STEM there is always something to learn. Adding knowledge from other disciplines even art and literature is fun and interesting.
