BC- many non Stem professors hire research assistants. One of my kids edited a book and fact-checked for a humanities professor (not in the same field… kid was just a good editor). One of my kids ran and analyzed statistical tables for a study being done by the poli sci department. Back in the dark ages, I was a summer research assistant for the Provost’s office of my college studying Affirmative Action policies and its impact on faculty hiring.

Not everyone needs to be a STEM major and there are plenty of research opportunities for strong students in a variety of disciplines.
