> hard sciences and engineering
anythign else is stupid and only good for government jobs and politics
When my sonwent away to college I told him to do his research and find out whatvtypes of jobs would be in high demand that paid well. I told him to take. Good look into the future because he was going to need to earn a good living paying back those college loans. And he did. He knew engineering was a good bet because they will always be needed. He chose chemical engineering because he was good at chemistry and he loves math. He made the right choice. He graduated several years ago and got a job within the same year earning $60K right off the bat. He now makes $70K and has been selected for management where his pay can climb past $100K. Proud of him and he’s smart as a whip. He also said he doesn’t approve of 0 anymore. A two’fer (he was brineashed for a little bit by the university indoctrination system)

The market on new engineers is very weak. Science degrees (chemistry, biology, etc) are a dime a dozen, and are also not that high paying unless you go beyond a bachelors.
There are exceptions, and hard work will get you far, but I cringe when I hear people pushing STEM degrees. Your son was driven, many of these kids I have ran into expect a high paying job right out the door and don't think about the soft side of things.
