Stop telling people to major in STEM because it “pays well”

I find it ironic that conservatives think people should be majoring in STEM instead of gender studies when everyone is already fucking studying STEM. Do conservatives not realize that CS is overcrowded and engineering is oversaturated? I have seen a ton of people complain at my school that half of the students in CS don't belong there because they are just there for the money. We do not need people building our stuff when they just want to get paid in the end. What kind of fucked up world do we live in where people can't pursue their actual passions? It is also why I get pissed when people are telling young adults that they should crush their dreams and passions just to go into the trades because it “pays well”. What a dystopian shithole we live in.
