I don’t get it? Yall are the fucking regards who don’t get shit like the laws of physics and economics that make the boondoggles stupid as shit. Why build infrastructure in space at a million times the expense? The obstacles go from physics to economics to environmental catastrophe. The world endong carbon dump in the atmosphere to launch a vermont-sized set of cooling panels that would cost our entire GDP to build then our entire GDP to launch? Is that what I don’t get? Or the ozone depleting ecologic time bomb of LEO satellites dumping a billion tons of aluminum oxides in the atmosphere as the orbits inevitably degrade? Is that a thing to get? Do you get we need that layer for life to exist on this planet? Yall are proposing ecconomic and ecologic disasters and I would be worried about it, except the physics is such an enormous obstacle it will never actually be accomplished. Saved by the laws of thermodynamics. It’s so many layers of stupid that are handwaved away as “technical”. Ok, sure. Lets colonize mars. With no magnetosphere, no atmosphere to speak of and no liquid water even possible. Absolutely bananas level of delusion and STEM ignorance that I would happily ignore if they weren’t trying to shove this shit into my retirement instruments.

It always starts with your job. The only advice you're going to get is from people who coincidentally also started their saving/investing plan while having a job in tech or STEM. Always the same bs.

KweenieQ

Our kids were born in the 80s, when 529 plans were more limited than they are now. So we saved via UTMA custodial savings accounts. By age 17, both kids had enough for 4 years of tuition at a state school, which is what we promised them. My parents also saved for them (as their parents saved for me and my sibs). Kid 1 took their money at 18 and went out on the road as a musician. Several years later, they came back to our area, got a part-time job and apartment, went to community college, then transferred to a state school and got 2 STEM degrees. We did help them buy two well used cars over the five years in school. They graduated with about $10K in student loans, which have been paid off. Today, they have a good job and jointly own a home with their spouse. Kid 2 spent their money on a liberal arts education, working part-time to stretch the money. They did live with us for 1.5 years while they worked and attended graduate school (using a combination of earnings and what was left of college money). No student loan debt. They had a tech job waiting for them at graduation, and a few months after that, they bought their first house. Their furnished it initially from various ReStores around the area. Today, they have a good job and jointly own a home with their spouse.

For myself, a career in a STEM field as the basis for a good income followed by always improving myself in the field so I was always seen as an asset to the company and not a cost center. The tech industry always has layoffs, but each time I was impacted I had a new job already set before the end of the notification period. After that was always living within my means (never carrying a credit card balance) and putting away everything that I could into 401k/IRA retirement accounts and then more into regular brokerage accounts so that the money could compound and work for me.   See r/personalfinance and r/fire as starting points.

China actually can. Considering alot of STEM graduates in China and the CCP investment into its own people. Alot of China's homegrown bioscience brands are growing. Why invest in a foreign company and risk your own security while you can invest in your own and it's more trustworthy.

Dalewyn

> School doesn’t teach you ~~everything~~ anything. FTFY. For all the screaming we do about teaching kids math and algebra, physics and quadratic formulas, STEM and rocket science and other bullshit, we ignore or flat out refuse to teach basic life skills such as finances. We should be teaching how money works, not *x = -b +/- sqrt(b\^2 - 4ac) / 2a*.

40StoryMech

All these STEM grads who have been shitting on the liberal arts suddenly find themselves in a world where being able to articulate oneself to a model enables doing everything they ever learned, but much faster. That's high comedy.

alallm

lmao dude. you're degree was worth it. also yea even as someone that studied STEM, it is funny how when you are in college you sometimes take those classes too seriously, for instance theoretical courses, and like as these ideals of true intellectual knowledge, at the discount of shit that in theory matters IRL economically speaking

As someone working in STEM research and medicine, all modern research in whatever disease you study to be taken seriously involves some level of sequencing. And Illumina has been the best for a while. I will focus on cancer. So if you are doing cancer research you are going to be sequencing patient tumor samples and so on. Based on research we have treatments for these diseases too where there are certain drugs and clinical trials that depend on a patient having X mutation in Y gene for instance. Some premier institutes like DFCI, UCSF, MD Anderson make sure to sequence every one of their patients often times at no cost to the patient as they want to treat them as best as possible. So to put it plainly, sequencing is crucial and what a decent chunk of modern medicine will be based on (i.e. precision medicine where you give drugs to specific patients based on the genetic profile of their disease, whether it's cancer, ALS, or whatnot). And so hospitals and research institutes use Illumina sequencers and it's mainstay. Now the question is, this stuff is still pretty expensive in terms of machines and reagents to run (although thousands of thousands of times cheaper than it was even 10 years ago, similar to moore's law basically with transistors Sequencing has gotten a shit ton cheaper). Idk the exact economics of if / when it will start printing money. But it's basically something that is super technologically advanced and crucial to the field of medicine at this point. Maybe there's some sort of consumer play like with how computers started as something only big institutes had but then everyone now has a laptop, iphone etc. idk

Growing up, I have given some investment calls to my dad based on my exposure to the internet. Some were bangers like buy bitcoin (anyone on reddit saw the hype even when it was like \~$300) but also random shit I was not fully knowledgable on like buy this random biotech stock that has a subreddit (easy to fall for reddit hype when you don't have a college degree / understanding of STEM). Funnily enough his best investment by far was based off when I built a PC in High school. He asked me what was the most important part of my build and I told him the Graphics Card. Just based on that he bought a shit ton of stock of NVIDIA. I wouldn't have thought or known that was a good idea in particular but it paid off. Obviously tech in general is great to invest in but I found that particularly funny. Just tiny stuff like that in one's life can change one's course. Too bad he sold the crypto (I would've bought some on my own and held if I could've but alas it was a bit sketchy at the time where I lived). So there's definitely something to be said in listening to your kids and forecasting what's gonna be important.

Orderflow stuff can be real and has edge but it requires fast orderbook data from all exchanges at microsecond latencies that HFT uses. Other signals that last a period of hours to multiple days requires fine grained data and some machine learning on top but signal exists. Looking for patterns ain’t doing shit. Google the “vomiting camel” pattern if you like. This is all possible with work and spending a few hundred to a thousand bucks a month. Needs some STEM and coding background. Otherwise stick to fundamentals sort of real I g and read earnings reports. Made up orderflow patterns using candles is jack shit. If you read Euan Sinclair’s options trading book he talks about how HFT and Hedge funds have market making, event trading, stat arb and long short desks. No one’s ever heard of the Japanese candles trading desk.

If you want to know the most Asian thing? Being born a female to a traditional Chinese family, win out against their favoritism towards sons at home. Do well in school and win out against to odds as a female PoC. Get into college and win against the odds against other smart students. Get into STEM and win out against other smart ass nerds. Break into tech as a woman and also break the glass ceiling for women and the bamboo ceiling for Asians to make it to CEO. Then take AMD from a loser on the brink of bankruptcy to one of the leaders in chips. ***And THEN make your stock 5x within a few year during the pandemic.*** #BUT WAIT! That ain't the most Asian thing. The most fucking AZN shit is doing all that and going to your family get together only to have your dad, mom, aunts, and UNCs talk shit about how you're Bsian, "Only increased your stock price by 400%?", and are inferior to your Asian cousin.

Upper middle class (doctors, lawyers, engineers, STEM, etc), not upper class. Yeah there's absolutely others maxing it out too, but that's not the norm for the working class.

MoreTendiesPlz

Even today, STEM related fields pay very well.

Big-Touch-9293

So many different factors. My wife and I met young 20’s, paid our way through school, got STEM degrees and progressed to good paying careers, live LCOL and below our means too. Also are aligned financially and DINKs. We just hit 1m invested combined at 34/30. About 350k is 401k, rest Roth IRA/brokerage. Wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are if our path went differently.

Engibeeros

I recently made a random $8000, but I’m a STEM student with no trading experience. Can you recommend some resources and knowledge areas to help me learn trading? Maybe I just should buy these same stocks as you? Will it work? :)

SalvationSycamore

It makes more sense after you've worked alongside some of those people lol. Or had to explain, well, anything to them. I was a STEM major and was often told to treat disseminating my research to the public (especially lawmakers) the same as explaining it to an elementary schooler.

GailaMonster

1. Privilege baby so no educational debt. 2. STEM undergrad + professional degree. I HAVE been unemployed, but my field pays appropriately. 3. Lived with roommates until I married and bought a house 4. Took extra jobs on top of my main gig just to make fun money- I was a housesitter/dogsitter/dogwalker. I love dogs and nice houses, so it was nice to enjoy them without having to pay for them myself. I don’t think AI will eat dogsitting as a side gig. Not a lot of money but I made it my “play money” budget so it was a perfect pressure release valve for when I wanted a nice meal out or a bag of weed. 5. My hobbies are pretty cheap- I like the video games I already own. I like cooking a ton, homemade bread and black bean soup FTW. I like gardening - I grow strawberries and raspberries, and those are fruit plants that constantly poop baby plants. I grow lettuce and arugula from seed. Gardening can be expensive or frugal depending on what you grow and how crazy you wanna get. 6. As you stack your savings and invest it properly, it eventually sort of functions like another person with its own job that is contributing to the household.

Yikes. If youve got STEM folks trying to redact you thats not really the best look...

So... In the middle of a gold rush, you say... Hunans will invent new gold instead of selling shovels at a premium? This is the STOCK market, not the STEM market dingus We're betting on what people will spend their money on. And people will empty their bank accounts to make machines that lie, they're already doing it.

Engineers or the STEM guys don't make these sorts of decisions. It's the biz folks and MBAs that do.

Honestly, we need to start being an ally with China. Sure, their human rights record is atrocious, but that doesn't stop us from cozying up to Saudi Arabia and Israel. China is going to bury the world - their technology and industrial capacity are unstoppable. They graduate 77,000 STEM phd's every year - twice the total we produce and 3 times what we produce if you factor out our foreign students. They have 232x our shipbuilding capacity. They have an enormous excess electricity capacity and are adding a Germany's worth of new capacity every year (meanwhile in the US they're warning of possible blackouts from data center usage) In 2020 the US was exporting about 1.2 million cars and China was exporting about 800,000. Now, we're exporting 900,000 and China is exporting 4.7 million. In 5 years. That's only going to get worse since EV sales are going through the roof due to the gas shock. We should be inviting Chinese factories to make cars here, we should be collaborating on technology, we should be setting up exchanges with their universities and ours. And I hate to say it, but maybe we should start advising Taiwan to make peace and work toward some form of reunion, because if China blockaded that island tomorrow we wouldn't be able to do shit about it.

hardcrepe

You know what happened from the opioid epidemic? Normal people can’t get ahold of pain meds and kids are just finding new ways to get high by overdosing on normal medication you can find at your grocery stores. What will happen with these gambling apps is addicts will still find a way to gamble even by going to a casino all. We need to advertise personal responsibility instead. Focus on getting individuals instead of banning institutions. But I can see the idea. I personally believe colleges shouldn’t give out any degrees other than STEM ones because after college the only use of those papers is decent employment.

mikeydoc96

Engineering companies need a CEO with some kind of engineering knowledge. A bachelors in some STEM subject and then an MBA once they've moved into management or sales - that's the mix you want. You need the blend of technical and business

> random and stochastic literally mean the same thing They liturhully don't. As explained above already. > go to school retard I have a STEM PhD and have taught university statistics courses for years. Not that that matters for anything, but apparently you seem to think it does, because you like fallacies. > there are patterns in random distributions. No, there aren't. By definition, since random is by definition without pattern. Unlike stochastic. > if there weren't then you would never be able to flip a coin and get heads 2 times in a row. Why not? That's not a consistent pattern, because it won't happen any more often than TT, TH, or HT, long term. So seeing HH doesn't violate the definition at all. Flipping a coin is indeed an example of something actually random for the very reason that this is NOT an actual repeating pattern. Unlike the stock market going up up up, which is, and which makes it non random. And therefore predictable. I AGREE that world GDP is at least one factor that predicts it. Which is why oil being blocked for months predicts a crash.

Does anyone else get slightly annoyed by the change to STEAM from STEM? That A is exactly the distinction STEM was originally making.

JoseLunaArts

Literacy of Iranians is very high in STEM, especially among women. But eurocentric/exceptionalist media loves to paint them like nomadic tribes. Their civilization invented math. US always had had what I call the "Death Star" doctrine. Build a big armored expensive machine to unleash firepower on targets. In 1924 pilot Billy Mitchell dare to say that one day cheap airplanes could sink battleships. That was heresy for the believers of the Death Star doctrine. Battleships were the ultimate power in the universe. In 1926 Billy was discharhed with dishonor. In 1936 Billy died. In 1941 his prophecy became reality. But USA only replaced the battleship Death Star with an aircraft Death Star. It only takes a swarm of cheap X-Wings to destroy the Death Star. It is called asymmetrical war. You can be a big tough guy, but if you kick a bee hive you will not be able to stop all the bees. Drones are like bees or X-Wings. Drones make great cheap decoys that require expensive anti-air missile defenses. So Iran spends a few thousand dollars and US/Isreal spend a $2 million dollar missile to intercept. Cheap drones are a way to bankrupt the enemy. Iron Dome was designed to intercept home made rockets. But Iranians had designed hypersonic missiles, just like Russia. USA does not have a functional hypersonic missile yet. US got used to fight eemies with sandals. And US military industrial complex was more interested in profit than tech advancement. Hypersonic missiles cannot be stopped. They travel too fast and they can maneuver, making interception impossible.

Conscious_Youth_752

Outsourcing is only part of the story now, though. And even then, loss of manufacturing jobs is a weirdly Trumpian phenomenon. With so much constriction in federal R&D spending and pumping money into AI and defense companies to move fast while nothing is regulated, both the government and private employers are laying off a ton of people we told for years to go into STEM.

Standard-Top-5942

The year is 2026. Harris just wrapped up a Young Girls in STEM (free of pedos) and the S&P is approaching 8,000 with the AI hype. The nuclear agreement with Iran is put back and their enrichment stays below 3.67%. Not only is the US leading in AI, but they are also revolutionizing solar and battery technology that is sure to be part of the AI revolution. Trump is serving time for his 34 felony criminal count and he is no longer orange.

huddledonastor

Iran has major issues with women’s rights for sure, but this kind of comment is neither informed nor helpful. Women in Iran are highly educated. They make up 60% of university students, and 70% of STEM graduates — one of the highest ratios in the world.

ProudestPeasant

get this I heard that all of china's government officials are either engineers or have STEM background. Not sure about the STEM but definitely sure about the engineer part.

Big-Safe-2459

I’m even older than you. By a long shot. Been investing in equities since 1995 and in mutual funds since 1982. Have also invested in real estate, art, and physical gold and silver. I’ve been self-employed too, which I consider the best return I have ever made (the ROI on elbow grease in the right sector can yield handsomely). I even did the BTC thing and did a bit of mining on an old computer once - like I said, I’m old! Normally I HODL and typically look at charts on the 2 or 5 year scale to made any sort of evaluation. I’ve been through several recessions, 9-11, and COVID. So I’ve kind of seen some shit go down. The current situation is different. China is on a steady pace to embed itself into the global economy with a steady supply of Phd STEM nerds, massive natural resources, a government free from headwinds, and growing trust in the world. Not to mention a military industrial complex that will rival that of the US. And I don’t buy the “experience” argument anymore in war, it will come down to technology. America is mired in domestic divisions, has abandoned manufacturing for the most part (so you know of anyone who is a tool and die maker?), and has a large population of young people stupefied by social media. Since I’m close to retiring, I’ve been slowly cashing in my top performers and buying gold, buying fixed income instruments, leaving utilities in place, and have a smattering of ETF funds that I still have faith in (TAN, CWW.TO, ROBO, and similar). As a Canadian, I have discovered a lot of products that are not US based and have zero plans to visit the states again. I can say a lot of my middle class friends are the same - booking trips to Mexico and buying Canadian or European. If someone young asked me what to buy today, I’d have a hard time making a suggestion. Maybe some climate change plays? Or even property in places that will be safer in 15-20 years. If nothing else, avoid debt like the plague and live below your means.

-TrueFacts-

First sentence is correct - but in a certain sense a lot of STEM stuff is just big brain trade school anyway. Your second sentence is not correct even for students - but the fact is humanities and social science academics are OVERMELMINGLY liberal and only very rarely conservative. Maybe a sensible person with a calling to be say a high school teacher will have to steel their nerves to tolerate years of propaganda to achieve their aim.

OnePilotDrone

The one thing people don't understand is that China is ruled by Technocrats, their entire government are fully educated in STEM/Engineering/Biochemistry/Rocket Science etc, they hold Degrees and PhDs in these types of things and have worked in the specialized fields before being promoted. The President of China himself holds a degree in Chemical Engineering. Compare that to the U.S. in which congress are filled with people with useless Law, Business or Finance degrees which doesn't translate to real world uses.

boogswald

And not everyone can do STEM and the stability of union/construction work is enticing but those jobs are harddddd. I’m a chemical engineer and I work with union guys all the time. Those folks are awesome and a lot of them really get ahead. They get a lot of money!!! …because they are working every weekend and working odd hours and these jobs are somewhat dangerous too!

Original-Guarantee23

Millennials always had an answer. Go get a STEM degree and then make money. The new generations it’s just flipped. Don’t get STEM degrees. Go into union construction work.

Masterandcomman

Yeah, Chinese leaders have been talking about increasing domestic consumption since at least 2012. When push comes to shove, they prioritize investment and STEM development. The hukou system and an employer-friendly ACFTU reduce worker power to promote investment growth. Labor organizations require permission from local officials to raise funds. China has been cutting rates, but not fast enough to get out of a deflationary trend, so household are saving cash like crazy, despite the modest rates. The China discount of stocks pushes investors into real estate, which is stalling, resulting in a negative wealth effect. China has a ton of potential, but the current system was designed for fast export growth amidst a huge trend of urbanization.

fruitloop00001

A bachelor's degree is typically required for an MBA. Not specifically a business degree. I was being snarky with the "not a real degree" phrasing. It is a valid bachelor's degree, but in corporate America an MBA plus relevant experience and other qualifications helps qualify you for a wide variety of jobs while a bachelor's in business is much weaker. Basically all it does is check the bachelors degree box. You're better off getting a STEM undergrad then doing an MBA next. If I had a bachelor's in business at 19 I'd probably find an entry level office job of some kind while working towards my MBA. Other qualifications can help too, I'm sure there are all sorts of financial advisor ones to buff your resume.

As a life long software entrepreneur some truth on both sides. It is true that the existing software will add AI features. But it is also true that mature companies and software packages tend to slowly die of bureaucracy by becoming internally hidebound and sclerotic and thus experiencing semi-inevitable necrosis where they end up getting replaced by newer nimbler tools. The biggest disruption is less in the companies and more in the white collar talent pipelines. Because the AI is displacing many of the lower tier jobs that SMEs in STEM and the more technical business fields use in order to start their careers and develop their senior level experience. 

Lawineer

There's 30 trillion rials in circulation and 42 million generated daily, so from a pure supply side, it's never going to be worth shit. With that said, unlike Afghanistan, Iraq, etc, Iran actually has a chance of becoming a "western" nation in the sense of being a stable, high gdp, functional and stable economy. It has the cultural foundation and certainly the has the required STEM educated populace.

w33bwhacker

Yeah, GP is either a bot, or a human writing fanfic. There's absolutely no significant trend of western academics suddenly picking up their lives, learning Chinese/Japanese/Korean and moving to Asia -- unless they're already Chinese, which is a dirty little secret of how western universities have been paying the bills / abusing the help for the past couple of decades, and not a great situation in the first place. So what we really have, to the extent that there's any truth to the claim at all, is that more Chinese students are staying at home instead of coming to the US and paying full freight or being an underpaid graduate student. But if you're a work-eligible US STEM researcher, you have dramatically more income opportunity in the US than anywhere else in the world, and people know it.

Mr_RD

Not quite, it’s more nuanced than that and the positives for China far outweigh the negatives. Last year there was a lot of uncertainty when the tariffs were first announced and it hurt a very small amount of factories (almost negligible, when you look at the whole country), but they’ve since either pivoted or repurposed. This is against the backdrop of China securing more reliable trade partners, easing visa requirements to attract tourism and FDI, and rolling out new visa classes to attract highly educated foreigners that could contribute mainly across STEM fields. This is especially bad for the US, which is going the opposite way both in terms trade partners and visa requirements. The balance of power (economic/knowledge) is shifting away from the US and towards other countries, and we are living through it. Other countries are doing deals amongst themselves without the US at unprecedented rates.

They are eating the dogs, eating the cats, and microwaving stinky foods in common areas...watch american business shutdown if H1Bs are banned. There aren't enough American STEM graduates with advanced degrees to do research.

wish-resign

China is outperforming the US in engineering in research because of the population difference. Of course country with +1 billion more population is gonna pump out many more research papers. That didn’t really measure the impact the aggregate research has economically. What could make a change is the emphasis on STEM and the cost of education. Engineers in China don’t get awarded Phds the traditional way any western person gets awarded one, it’s more based on practical applications of their knowledge rather than published dissertations which solves for cost and the amount of Phds a country can pump out.

jr350

I don’t think there is a “too late” but that’s not even the issue. We really don’t reward or fund STEM enough. I know a lot of engineers and scientists who left their fields for law and finance because there’s a lot more money to be made. Only comp sci pays well but that’s just a narrow field of big tech. So we’ve made huge strides in targeted advertising but not much that affects the flesh and steel of society. There’s also a huge cultural problem. Americans glamorize sports from a young age. This is a slow death of our own making.

ziggs_ulted_japan

You actually believe we have world class schooling? Math we rank 28th out of the 37 first world countries. We rank 12 in science and 9th in literacy. Almost every single Asian country outperforms us in every category. Our culture and our system is failing the American children. We will never stack up to Asia in any STEM category.

lichen-alien

I’m a college student in STEM and AI has helped immensely. It’s not very good at statistics or chemistry (which I do a lot), Claude definitely wins in the math and science sector but can be wildly off without informed fact checking. What I do notice is that there’s a large disparity with AI. Some students are using it and crushing assignments at a rapid pace, others are refusing to use it for moral reasons and I’m watching them get left behind. A lot of students don’t even know about Claude or the different ai systems besides chat GPT. I feel like I have a huge advantage using AI in my field and learning about it while it’s unfolding. I think the investment is warranted for the processing technology, but I think the cloud storage aspect is a waste. I foresee a large movement towards privacy prioritization, no one’s going to want to use over invasive cloud storage unless it’s for specific projects or school. A lot of these Mag7 companies are rapidly losing the trust of the public, which will have long term impacts.

I saw the same video and was wondering the same. Everything except the corrosiveness of CO2 is much MUCH better. The people commenting aren't in STEM so they don't know. Governments have a permanent hard on for green tech. It also benefits my line of work because of the superalloys involved.

Ok well high-end manufacturing like aerospace/oil & gas Machining/programming is STEM and companies DESPERATELY need good certified and with an engineering degree workers. Nice way to gate keep 😆 if you were good at your job you wouldn't be worried about other people getting into your field. I work at an Aerospace/oil&gas Job shop in Houston, and if I don't like my job or even if I don't like come being treated, I up and leave immediately and can get a new one in less than a week. But I guess that's just how trades skill works.

Normal-Many-6479

Awww damn all those needless overpaid govt jobs 😆 I work in the private sector in manufacturing as a machinist, and companies are BOOMING and hiring!!!! Just no one wants to hire shitty spoiled brats with a bachelor's in basket weaving for $100k/year right out of college. Learn a trade/skill or get a STEM degree and you'll make BANK 🤑 I'm a college drop out and make about $125k/year in Texas with excellent benefits, and I still have lots of room to grow!

You wake up and ask your friend, how has 🥭 fucked the market today? > 🥭? I don't think anybody cares about him anymore. Kamala is having a women in STEM event at the white house that nobody cares about and the DOW just hitv57,000.

Mainly STEM work, tablets have been huge for many STEM programs for note-taking. I used one for my whole Bachelor's in engineering and would never look back. Things like engineering, math, chemistry, physics all require rather complex typing/writing. Being able to write equations or draw figures directly onto course note PDFs or slide decks is quite valuable. It's something that seems so minor, until you actually try it out.

With how AI is killing Junior Engineers careers in the US, I wouldn't be surprised if Chip Innovation will slow down as well. Currently the market for entry level engineers is bad, I wouldn't be surprised if Colleges will have lower enrollments for STEM fields.

Close the boarders and make contributing people in STEM and infrastructure trade skills the only people approved to apply for citizenship.

People are fuckin regarded, like genuinely the herd mentality is crazy. They won’t critically think about the value in their situation and will just parrot the current slogan. A 4 year college degree is a waste of time in SOME circumstances. If you know you’re a bit of a dipshit who has zero interest in school, don’t want to do a marketable STEM degree and are there to waste time and get laid or have the “college experience” while paying full tuition then you should absolutely pick up a trade or join the military compared with going to school. But for a lot of people’s goals college is a great way to get a white collar STEM job that is easy on your body if you’re willing to a put in a bit of mental work. Even better if you go to your local state school or do the 2+2 from your community college to state school. Phenomenal return on investment in that case, even if you choose not to go into STEM

Yeah no that’s not happening. Europe is not inventing next Amazon, Google, Nvidia etc. it’s because of their work culture. All these companies have been employing talented STEM Indian and Chinese graduates that made products and services for their companies. This isn’t happening in Europe where the new push is 4 day work and where people start drinking at 3 pm in the name of work life balance.

AI in my opinion can benefit all sectors of industry and it just depends on how well it gets implemented and utilized. Industries are too afraid of change or letting software take control when it comes to a lot of practices because they don't "trust" the software. I know for a fact that AI in the medical field is a limitless opportunity for improvements and it is a must focus. In nearly all manufacturing industries I feel like AI can benefit them but they will not all benefit immensely from it. Generative AI in my opinion is like someone who wants to get an arts degree versus a degree in a STEM field. It is useful in the entertainment/psychological fields but not so much for industrial use that keeps the world moving.

The year is 2026. Harris has just finished a picnic in the Rose Garden for young women in STEM. AI slop is banned on youtube. The Ukraine war has stopped. The US has increased taxes on the Mag7 by 1% and used those funds to eliminate malaria around the world saving about a 1 million children from death each year. Health insurance profits have been caped and those funds have been used to provide free healthcare to people who are employed but making under 100k per year. The S&P is over 7k.

This guy was given the reins of the federal government and could have actually pressured the pres and congress to introduce a UBI. Instead he cut back on the safety net and destroyed jobs, particularly STEM and science jobs. He's bullshitting.

moose_the_kitten

Can't stop laughing with all these comments, you are so disconnected from reality: 1. "China cars cheap because of slave labor", dude have you been to any car factory? They are welding robots, machines, etc. China car cheap is because of supply chain, in Shenzhen you can get everything to make anything within walking distances. Also Chinese government stopped subsidized EVs last year because of worrying overproduction. 2. "China will steal all the IPs if they are here", you are acting if your glorified shithole country has anything left to steal, your left only worries about LGBTs and your right are nazis, your kids are so addictive to stupid trends like 6-7, nobody in this country is going STEM while China pumps out scientists and engineers like no tomorrow. 3. "China is preparing for wars", speaking like a true warmonger country in the human history, just this year your president kidnapped another country's presidents, and is waging a war against Greenland, Iran, etc. Chinese are mercantilism, they only care about making money, they may sell war machines but that is because they can profit. And your thought Chinese car makers will beg to come to US market, I mean with your TACO president and neoliberal in control, who want to waste money set up a billion-dollar factory just to be told get out in 4 years. The world does not only have 300M Americans, there are 8 billion peoples. Yes, you are a big market because of dollars and your military, but can you imagine if that is not the case anymore. Don't say it is impossible, anything goes up will come down.

It is moot, yes. Just to clarify though - it wasn't because he already paid it, it's because it was already DUE on those shares. If you won the lottery, you'd have a tax bill liability dated from the date of your win. When the state puts the money in yoru bank account you wouldn't owe an additional tax because you RECEIVED the funds. Tax bill due and tax bill paid both STEM from the same tax liability. Does that help?

MightyOm

I'm not angry. I'm warning you that you've been tricked. And the outcome is going to be horrible. You need to go to school and get a STEM degree with a focus in AI. And you need to take some economic classes too. It's been known for over a century that tariffs destroy a country's financial future.

The year is 2026 and President Harris has just concluded a young women in STEM event on the White House lawn. The S&P is at 7000 and the US is leading the world in using AI to bring free healthcare to the world.

MrNo_Balls

it sounds like you're still in high school if you think that is the only way to end up in the never ending rat race or homeless. We all think we are special during that time because of good grades or graduating from college with a STEM degree, but all of that does not guarantee anything unfortunately. good luck in life kid.

PugsAndHugs95

Yes I work in a STEM related jobs designing control systems. We regularly try all the major models to see if they’re worth integrating into parts of our tasks or workflows. So far no dice. All the stuff it’s good at (language, translation, transcription, image generation [Nano Banana Pro], etc…) doesn’t really help my day to day. I deal with exact solutions or specifications and programming all day. It’s cost us about 20% more labor hours to try to use it in our day to day work.

Most of my money went into ASTS and RKLB. I invested into some other growth companies I thought were interesting that basically all failed (or at least lost almost all value). Some have somewhat recovered by now but I sold for a large loss to recover what I could at the time. From what I remember, they were MVST (EV batteries, LICY (EV battery recycling), ORGN (green plastics), LCID (EV Car maker). I ended up making small amount of money, or at least only losing small amounts in SOFI and STEM.

Thank you for showing my point: Israel receives the same \*economic aid\* as Egypt (money that doesn't go to military equipment), yet it has better engineers, doctors, and most other non-military-wise STEM professionals. It also receives less economic aid than the UK and India. This is astounding.

OMGnoogies

Tech, Chip design, Pharma, Medicine... Israel is a major player in most STEM fields

SpaghetiCode

It's a mix of many things: \- Israel has an intense academic scene (specifically in STEM). \- Lots of skilled professionals fled to Israel (from the USSR) due to antisemitism (similar to how German scientists fled to the USA in WW2). \- necessity-driven innovation (surrounded by enemies). \- strong government R&D support. All of these lead to a dense pool of engineers and scientists, creating vast opportunities for collaboration in the high-tech field. Similar pressure led Taiwan and Korea to be strong STEM hubs.

Some of my best and worst FSLR and ENPH. I remain sure that someday America will join the rest of the world in realizing the free electricity from the sky is a good thing. And while FSLR is a favorite, the price of ENPH means it has more bounce potential. No idea what year or decade that might be though. Also some battery and related system plays. Things like MVST or STEM could erode to dust next year or just as easily triple. Who knows?

AMadWalrus

Ain't no way you're questioning the qualifications of one of the FOUNDERS of Salesforce cause his degree isn't STEM.

TTKnumberONE

I think good problem solving is a teachable skill. Going for a STEM degree and especially engineering is a good start. In this specific example I think it’s pretty dumb to judge a guy from his undergraduate degree from 1989. A simple scan of his resume would indicate he immediately went to work as a SWE for 5 years before starting his own cloud computing company and then immediately went to Salesforce as CTO, which he’s been for 26 years now. It literally doesnt matter what he did for undergrad. So yes, you’re right in that most CTOs have engineering backgrounds and most CEOs would probably want a CTO to have that type of background. In this case there’s a pretty clear reason none of that matters.

Degrees matter when you’re trying to separate wheat from Chaff when you’re trying to narrow your selection of candidates. But it’s by no means a rule. It’s just a piece of paper telling you you did a thing. I know you know at least one person who got their degree that didn’t earn it. Well it flows both ways. Plenty of people are capable of many jobs outside of some highly specialized STEM stuff or legal professions where there really is an intellectual rigor. But by and large, any person capable of learning without a degree is still capable of learning.

Pornfest

Spoken as someone who never earned their STEM degree. Come back when you understand heap vs stack memory, or how degeneracy in energy eigenstates helps inform the industry to the limits of Moore’s law.

LordFedorington

I mean he did found Salesforce in 1999 so he built a billion dollar software company. I think that’s a better qualification for CTO than a STEM degree
