Why is there such a colossal gap between the number of students enrolled and the amount of degrees awarded in the STEM field? Are there really this many stupid students who thought they could get into STEM? Explanations?

Pic related. (Top is picture of degrees awarded, bottom is enrollment)

Low graduation rates are primarily caused by:

1. People transferring to another uni (so they technically don't graduate from their original school)
2. People who overestimate their ability to succeed or do the work in a rigorous major
3. Unusually difficult coursework that weeds out more first years than it should, grade deflation etc

because we don't know how to teach math. in aerospace at my college they threw some hard problems at you right in the beginning to separate wheat from the chaff. if you don't have a level of mathematical maturity you won't make it past the first year. most kids attend buttfuck highschool where they teach to the test and learn nothing about mathematical thinking. even if they wanted to learn mathematics, they simply wouldn't have time, because they have to go to a government building for 8 hours a day (or be arrested) for 12 years, to be forcefed a cirriculum similar to a watered and dumbed down liberal arts education, with no coherency and basically no real purpose. they have the most alert hours of their best years taken away from them to be taught how to be obedient. it's actually kind of sick.

>>9012745
whats funny is despite the fact that every uni is practically carrying you through college with 80 point curves the graduation rate is still low for stem.

Hey sci, filthy technician here. I'm planning on going back to school, want to get an electrical engineering degree. 27 years old, is there a realistic way for me to do this while working 40 hours a week?

No.

>>9015308
>40 hours a week
I am STEM but not engineering, but I work 20 hours a week and I already want to kill myself and/or quit.

You will fail your first semester like that. You should try to get funding so that you don't have to work. Perhaps convince your company that you will use the degree with them after you graduate and make them agree to reduce your hours for the next 4 years.
>>
I'm 26 and I''ll be getting my associates for electrical tech next year. Am I fucked?

I'm tired of school and my shitty dead end wage slave job. I want to work but something more relevant to my field. I want to move out of my parent's house. I kinda of want to go for my full EE degree too but I don't know if I have it in me right now. I'm pretty burnt out with school.

Climate change is real, never in the history of the earth has the climate remained stagnant. It has been always changing. Global warming and the human cause are what nobody has yet proven.

>A global map of the May 2017 LOTI (land-ocean temperature index) anomaly shows that the extreme warmth that affected parts of the northern hemisphere — Siberia in particular — in prior months has partially abated.
Maybe you should read your own article, it says right there it's become less severe this year.
