Why pushing STEM majors is turning out to be a terrible investment

&quot;But why would women choose a sector where the numbers indicate they aren’t welcome?&quot;<p>I&#x27;ve known many women that got into STEM and dropped out. Why? Most don&#x27;t want to sit in front of a computer all day without social interaction. Many moved onto things like digital marketing, sales, and social media.<p>I also really don&#x27;t think women have been prevented from getting into higher positions of power and high-paying jobs for a long time. I&#x27;ve been consulting for two decades and worked with many companies in many different industries. I think I&#x27;ve reported to more women than men and there were many more women in upper-level management.

This is a BS article that revolves entirely around the author&#x27;s pathological definitions of STEM education and StEM jobs as illustrated by this hilarious quote which implies learning math is useless for a career in finance and learning science is useless for a career in medicine.<p>&gt; Many able STEM grads bolt for better-paying careers, especially in business, finance, management and medicine
