Why are STEM fields so stigmatized in society?

Does Veeky Forums know of a more useless video than "Don't Stay in School" by Boyinaband?
>mfw 23 million kids watched a video telling them that what they are learning in school is completely pointless
>mfw 23 million kids just learned that it isn't important to be able to do basic math and know basic science
Do you ever wonder why there have been no significant physical discoveries since Einstein? Is STEM seriously that hard to understand?
So my question is Veeky Forums, why are STEM fields so stigmatized in society for being inapplicable and boring when they are literally the foundation for modern society as we know it?

They're not stigmatized at all. In fact, in my country you're almost looked down upon if you're not in either engineering or medicine. Humanities is the field that's stigmatized, def not STEM

he has a point that school should teach you to deal with more practical problems as well, other than that no one cares what amerimutts tell other amerimutts to do

...

You sure got me, user.

It really shouldn't though
There's no practical problem schools need to teach

wrong

Refute it

These subjects are definitely important for kids to learn, but it's also true that many kids leave high school woefully unprepared for life

Speaks more about the shittiness of parents to be fair
