<p>Hey, OP. I work at a photography company. My boss has her undergrad degree in biology and her masters degree in some kind of molecular biology. OMG- a STEM major has a very successful job in an ARTS field. The majority of people don’t end up getting a job in their field anyway (yes, even a lot of engineering majors don’t go on to be engineers). What if your son decides that he hates engineering after getting an engineering job and then decides to go and do something completely outside of any STEM jobs. Would you consider his degree useless?</p>
