That’s the mentality that put US into this mess in the first place.
Granted, not everyone is college material, or have the aptitude to learn and understand the hard sciences, but active discouragement of engineering and science degrees since the mid 90’s is why we ended up with a bunch of mush headed SJW millenials with completely useless degrees.
Math is weight lifting for the mind.
Re: “That’s the mentality that put US into this mess in the first place.”
I disagree.
Today, there are close to 1 million completely “average” foreign STEM workers in the USA, under H-1B, under OPT, and under employer sponsorship for Green Cards.
There are also several hundred thousand more completely average foreign STEMS who have already acquired a Green Card.
There is a massive oversupply of completely average foreign STEM talent in the USA, which has crushed the USA wage scale since 1999, and has also crushed the demand for American STEM graduates over 40 years of age.
Average American college students avoid STEM degrees because of the pay scale, and because of limited prospects after age 40.
