    I strongly disagree w the claims in this tweet. I assert that STEM has had EXPLODING pay over the last 20 years, and outside of FAANG where the SJWs took over, the bosses are usually STEM too.https://twitter.com/HHillespie/status/1479588538161283075 …

    STEM gets lauded in the media/politicians (who usually went into the liberal arts themselves BUT!) the real life prestige has been degraded over the past 20+ years. The pay is decreasing, the bosses majored in art history and maths skills are no longer a sign of male supremacy.

        this might be true inside academia, but in the private sector, not so much

        If anything, I suspect STEM pay has gone up -too much- in the sense that I can't help but keep wondering what the world would be like if the market had broken such that all the engineer hours that went into adtech had instead gone into SpaceX-shaped projects instead.

        I am annoying conscious of the irrationality and counterfactuality but also I know so many people who were excellent hard scientists but (deservedly) escaped academia into software rather than getting to put their science chops to cooler uses.

        Some yes, some no. 1st level tech support has certainly taken a hit.

        Yeah, I work at a FAANG company and haven’t met any “bosses” who have majored in art history or any other liberal arts field. I also have no idea how this person could come to the conclusion that STEM pay is decreasing. Maybe for people working in the life sciences?

        STEM is broader than the booming I.T. sector. Civil, electrical, mechanical, structural, chemical, aeronautical engineers are not remotely on the same curve as their colleagues in 'tech'.
