OP- big hug to you but I want to reassure you out here in the real world (I hire for a living) there are millions of happy people out there who work at something they love who don’t even know what STEM is. There are people with degrees in psychology who work in marketing (who figured out that casinos shouldn’t have clocks in them, or that if you package the Oreos in 100 calorie bags you are going to sell LOTS of Oreos-- psychology majors, that’s who). There are people with degrees in history who write speeches for Senators and CEO’s, and people with degrees in anthropology who work in tech companies figuring out how to organize teams for optimal productivity, and people with degrees in English who help pharmaceutical companies instruct doctors and nurses and pharmacists and elderly patients on how to use their medicine safely and effectively.
And everything in between.
If you haven’t spent an hour on Linkedin looking at the backgrounds of graduates from your own university over the last ten years to see what they do for a living- you should do that.
You can get off the treadmill, but only you can sort through the books you’ve read, the issues you’ve thought about, and the professors you’ve met and figure out if there’s something you can develop a passion for. Many of the questions facing society right now won’t be fixed by the STEM folks- however important their contributions will be. Why won’t people wear face masks? That’s a psych and sociology and history question, not a biology question. Why do young people vote in smaller percentages than older people, even though they have more to lose if they object to the policies politicians put in place? Why are women under-represented in some fields and over-represented in others in the US but not in Sweden? Why do people pay for 100+ television channels that they never watch, every single month, but freak out if they have to pay $25 for the copay to see their doctor to diagnose strep throat, and how can you create meaningful health care reform if regular people are unwilling to understand how much stuff costs?
Hugs to you. You do not need to major in STEM to get a good job after college, and you do not need to study something you hate right now.
Go grab a copy of The Atlantic, New Yorker, Vanity Fair-- wonderful writers, all sorts of interesting feature writing, a wide variety of topics. Surely something will grab you by the throat???
