Let's talk about the economic implications of a STEM career.

how about checking for job opportunities BEFORE choosing field of study you brainlet

Engineering fags don't need to apply, enjoy your dwindling job market.

Every single pharmacy school in the nation still memes the pharmacist shortage.
And every single university has advisors that tell you how "in demand" stem and IT jobs are, meanwhile the entire job market is saturated as fuck.

Not OP but i chose physics when I was in highschool, teachers really do peddle the "STEM or get out" meme. No one should have to pick something so heavy at 17.

I'm working as an undergrad researcher over the summer, its not as fun as /sci/ hyped it up to be. I'm going to finish this degree and transfer into a BEng mech. degree at a better school before I fall for the masters/phd meme too. Thank god my parents are rich and I got so many scholarships.

Look up mechanical engineering jobs in your area before you do. You're fucked if you're in the north east or the Midwest

Living in Canada, electrical and mechanical are still in demand from what stats say and are expected to rise. I'm picking mechanical just because I can finish it quicker and I enjoy thermodynamic shit

In my country, the only fields that are not saturated are medicine and CS.

Does this make you mad, Americuck?

>because the field is saturated as fuck.

I go to a small university with an even smaller department of mathematics. Last year, only one person earned a bachelors in mathematics here. I mention that because I know that I am almost guaranteed to get a job here, all I have to do is just keep going. And I say that because a large chunk of the professors are really old now, like 5 of them will be retiring in the next 5 years which will leave many spots open for new people with PhDs then, and in 5 years I may already have my PhD or at best have a masters which means I could TA.

I think I got it figured it out man.

>get memed into health
See this is where you fucked yourself up being money hungry instead of wanted to push boundaries
