WSJ: "If you're a high math student in America... it's crazy to go into STEM"

[yagottabelieve]

<p>

Yadda, yadda, yadda…then you have senior Java developers with undergraduate degrees from HBCU’s (Historically Black Colleges) and M.S. degrees from Univ of Maryland UNIVERSITY COLLEGE (not College Park) pulling $200,000 for jobs with full benefits (not 1099) to utilize their TS/SCI+Poly security clearances.</p>

<p>I personally know DBA’s with just an associate’s degree but knows Oracle inside and out snatching $130,000/year (using his clearance). Of course it is supporting the Feds so you KNOW it isn’t all that stressful.

<p>No doubt, there are lucrative opportunities available. But how many? Are there enough for all of the people studying STEM worldwide?</p>
