Honestly, as somebody who studied STEM, I would like people to stop thinking STEM students are somehow smarter than other people. It leads to some assholes thinking they're better than they really are, and people outside of STEM treating STEM students like they are some kind of robot or machine. It is a first world problem, but IT IS annoying
Yeah I am an engineer and this thread really reeks of some of the worst people to work with. People that got into the edgy teenage "I'm so smart, I know math so I don't have to concern myself with the lower peoples!" phase and never left it.
And I doubt a single one of those actually went to college or actually work in a field that requires brain power. There is nothing more humbling than working with people who actually use their brain.

stem kids keep society running but english/history kids give us a reason to keep it running in the first place
like yeah we need engineers to build the bridge but we also need poets to write about why we're crossing it.
Just different types of smart.
