I wonder what happen when you charge a shitton of money for STEM majors and less money for other courses.

    Actually, yes. Unless you're going into engineering a lot of stem jobs pay like shit and have low prospects. I know quite a few people even outside of the US that didn't go into chemistry or pure math (or physics) for financial reasons and instead went into non-STEM majors.

      engineering also sucks because everyone thought engineering didn't suck and went into it, so now it does.

        Everyone I know in mechanical engineering either got an advanced degree, switched specialization, or has been traveling the country and getting laid off from the last remnants of the industrial jobs that exist here.

        Somehow a little over a decade ago people still thought that mecheng was the guaranteed employment one.
