"paying" daughter to go with STEM - doing the wrong thing?

<p>

I am upset that you think this. I am just going off of statistics and the general consensus which is that it is easier for people with “practical” majors (I am defining practical as majors that teach students hard quantitative skills or failing that business management, technical, scientific etc skills) to get jobs that are secure and pay well. Look at job postings online - count the number of openings for “French enrichment class director” you see compared to, e.g., “systems analyst” or “software designer.” I KNOW liberal arts majors ARE NOT WORTHLESS and I NEVER said that. I value the friendship of MANY of my non-engineering friends and GASP even some people without college degrees (one of my best friends since childhood now does hair).</p>

<p>And something else i failed to address earlier is the blatant false statement that most engineers get sent overseas - oh, give me a BREAK.</p>

<p>Maybe it is a cultural difference preventing me from getting my message across here , I sincerely do not know. I do not understand why everyone here must resort to intensely damaging and upsetting cyber-bullying when they do not agree with my opinion.</p>
