From my experience STEM folks are real hit or miss. Remember the capitalist framing of college anyway.
“Ugh, why? Just do a trade? Ugh, if you insist, STEM only and absolutely nothing else!” So some people will go into STEM and ignore more of the intellectualization because “I’m just following the rules.”
One of the strongest arguments the left has imo is all the people who “did everything right” and still got discarded by porky on his arbitrary whims.
IMO, it’s not necessarily a uniquely stem problem so much as it is “what are they complaining about? Just don’t major in things porky doesn’t want and you’ll be fine!”
