Except it isn't true at all. Looking at the budgets. government programs are more effcient and produce better results the the private sector by a large margin.Just look at the budget reports, and EOY financials.
NO, it's not true at all. I'm sorry, but I know too any poeple working at NASA.
You got problems with NASA, talk to congress about getting them proper funding to accomplish what ever big goal you have in mind.
NASA generates a ton of revenue for the country. If they got all the tax dollar from industries the created, we would have outpost all through out the solar system ad probably be 2 decades ahead in technology.
"getting history or political science degrees?"
funny how the article says STEM, but when people need to find examples no one uses a STEM career as an example.
" I've said for years the real money lies in being a welder, plumber, or an electrician.
nope. facts do not bare that out at all.
average incomes:
welder - 32K
plumber - 26k
electrician - 39K
software - 71k
software engineer - 90k
electrical engineer - 83k
civil engineer - 78k
social scientist - 86k
way less money. You still have that pesky thing where you may have to kill people.
Nope.
College is about an education, not 'job'. The only problem is people are under the delusion that any degree will pay 6 figures and then get an easy degree.
Afterwords they are shocked, Shocked I tell you, that someone who spent 4 year learning music means they get to be a barrista.
It's fine to get a music degree, just don't whine when you have no plan on applying it.
Having a liberally educated populace is good for everyone.
well, cost is an issue to, but I'm a democratic socialist, so I think education should be paid from society. The benefits of this for society is very high.
Or at least a series of colleges that are funded via tax system.
" Invest in trade schools and weed out the seat-fillers so you actually graduate capable people."
so people who don't adapt the they way high school works should just be cast out into the snow.
You're an evil SOB.
I had a really hard time in HS. Fortunately, unlike you, the school system isn't so lazy it just throws their hands in the air and threw me out.
False.
Any student who walks out of high school in the USA can find an apprenticeship, and get paid and learn. We don't need it in the school system.
The openly problem is with people who seem to think a BS degree in a subject not in demand means they get to make a lot of money.
I don't know any STEM graduates that don't have work. When the media started whipping the 'college degree isn't worth anything' hysteria, every person that was out of work they interviewed would have something like 'liberal art and I studied american ghost stories and not I can't find a job!'*
"I would definitely jump onto the skills market again if I were coming out of High School and not all into STEM degree.
That's fine, but you wouldn't have made nearly the same money. Also, you can learn any of those trades now.
*actual quote.
programmers make 500K a year, and don't work OT
Oh, not all programmers, but no welder I know make over 100k, much less 150k.

You are making 150k a year as a welder, you are working 60+ hours a week.
going to a 4 year college makes it more likely they will be successful. Of course, they needs to be smart about what they do.
Going into a trade is trivial to do. In many cases it's as simple as walking into a union shop and asking about apprenticeships.
anything taught in shop can be taught in 3 months, tops. Usually through an apprenticeship program.
Nothing is STEM can be.
STEM promotes critical thinking, and exploration. Trades do not.
High School Education is NOT about making money. It's about getting a wide education that you can apply.
Learning STEM helps with the trades. The trades do not help with STEM.
AUMF that allow's it. It is overly broad. I congress person voted against it and was labeled a traitor by most American at the time.
Listen to Radiolabs : 60 words.
IT's awesome. You cut the neck and it causes the head to spin really fast until it hits the ground.
HOWEVER, it is only practical for level 5 or above.
I know someone who used this axe to split red oak. She loved it.
You can't fell a tree with a Mortising Axe either, but that doesn't mean it's not an axe.
It's an axe.
As are splitting mauls.
FYI: There are may types of Axe.
Felling, Splitting, Adze, hatchet. Axe of the Dwarvish Lords, and so on.
