This diagram is stupidly broad.
>11.4 million STEM degree holders who work
ok wheres the meme
The meme is that as they are working at a job that has nothing to do with their degree they should have just been able to get that job out of highschool.
They cant though because the military-industrial-academia complex is trying to scam everyone out of their money.
>been able to get that job out of highschool
then why are many non-STEM degree holders finding it hard to get a job?
Right, but this is the fault of pure departments and retards on this board who think they'll get STEM jobs with just a math, chemistry or physics degree etc
Professional STEM degree students like engineering have been telling you retards you're doing an easy mode background degree for generations.
>then why are many non-STEM degree holders finding it hard to get a job?
The STEM meme propagates. Someone who fell for the meme gets a job, becomes part of the hiring committee, and hires more STEM to self-validate his own degree.
>STEM jobs
i just thought a stem degree was more employable in general 2bh
Have you seen the projected job growth over the next 20 years? It's pathetic, you almost certainly aren't going to work in the engineering field.
I never got this meme.
In my country, stem is a very profitable field to work in
Engineers starts at roughly 2.5k to 4k /months depending on the school they graduated from (national median income is at 1.7)
They also have one of the highest employment rate upon graduation.
