>people honestly believe there is a STEM shortage Top Kek,

300k starting

300k forints maybe

Seriously, the same thing happened with IT industry (in the UK) we were told there was a shortage of 30,000 jobs and needed to import labour. It wasn't true, the market was saturated as fuck and still hasn't recovered

>>7646986
What if this was true? How many of the "when will I ever use this in real life" faggots would go major in mathematics?

>>7647065
not many, a PhD takes a long time and it's pretty competive to get into a good school like the Renyi Institute or Meme Institute of Technology

>>7646986
Thats just a meme no job is 300k starting

>>7647229
Sales Engineering gets pretty close.

>>7647022
that's the industy's way of making widely needed positions cheaper.
They just advertise it through controlled media.

It really sucks.
While STEM is a very large field, much much larger than IT, giving a bunch of morons STEM degrees because "there's a shortage" ruins the thing for the rest that are actually interested in this.
Why don't people do what they like?

>>people honestly believe there is a STEM shortage
>doing what there's a 'shortage' of and not what you love
Stay pleb, retard.

>mfw there actually is a shortage in my field
>i tell people the shortage is made up by industry to drive wages down
>i actually just don't want them saturating my field and driving my artificially-high wages down
who else /devillish/ and /gametheory/ here

>>7647345
what field?

>>7647384
Mechatronics engineering

>>7647345
I'm sure both the retards you steered away from your field single handedly saved your profession

>>7647384
CS

>>7647384
Meme engineering

>>7647345
I actually do this about everything.
I never share info that might eventually lead in financial competition or my discomfort.

>>7647396
It impoves the odds.

>Why don't people do what they like?

Lots of people want to make alot of money, and lots of other people want to make enough to not have to worry about running out of money. People often dont know what theyd actually like or find what it is is something they'd never get a job with, like history, axillary language learning, literature.
Far more often people will never, ever have *a* thing they like. They like, or would like if they looked into it, a load of different things, and dedicating themselves to only one as a time-conusming career would ruin it for them. Humans were never programmed to be extreme specialists.

>>7647385
Don't worry Abbot will kill your industry. Stay kangaroo, senipai..

>>7647274
Implying it matters when they import Chans and Pajeets to do it.

>>7647345
Tbf most of the shortage could be made up by engineering degrees requiring mechanical students to take like two or three more electrical electives and vice-versa for electrical students.
Most mechatronics jobs are just roles where the engineer doing the job needs knowledge of both mechanical and electrical shit, but the job isn't big enough to bother hiring/paying two engineers. They also tend to get a lot of project management jobs where you have to coordinate teams of electrical and mechanical engineers, because they'll always blame shit on the other discipline.
But, like I said, you could fill most mechatronics jobs with an EE with decent ME experience or vice-versa.

Source or GTFO.

>300k Rupees

FTFY

>>7647235
Some people do. They take lib art degrees and occupy shit when they can't find a job that doesn't involve burgers and fries

>>7647274
That's beside the point. The fact is that the majority of graduating STEM majors don't work in their field, engineers included. The exception might be CS, but the wages have actually gone down since the 90s.

>>7647345
The closest thing to any shortage is medicine, and that's only because the shortage is maintained artificially.

>>7647345
Dude, that's totally normal self-preservation behavior people exhibit in every field.
Except for computer science. Those people are asking or it.
