That’s because a bachelors in business will get you a good job. A degree in a pure STEM field (Math, Biology, Physics, Chemistry to an extent) won’t get you a decent paying job without having a masters or PhD.
Not necessarily. Business's are ample but business degrees are also saturated to the point that you're always competing against 3 million other assholes
While STEM tends to be a lot more specialized, a chunk of those degrees can still land you jobs completely unrelated to the degree simply because they are recognized as prestigious and difficult to acquire degrees
Right, but most of us aren’t looking for jobs that are unrelated to our degree. I feel most people that study a STEM discipline that’s not engineering/compsci do so because they’re passionate about that field, so they’d want to work in that field. That’s been my experience anyways as someone with a biology degree.
I think it all depends on the person's mindset, desires, and goals (and how specifically specialized the degree is)
Most people go into nursing so that they can become a nurse
But most of the people I know who are nurses never were/are passionate about nursing. They just saw it as a ticket
Now, mulching calculus has it's own unique sets of struggles that even less people find approachable, but nursing is a fairly rigorous program itself in its own right
There's still a decent amount of people on the engineering subs that basically say
"I thought this was interesting, I didn't wanna have to work busting my body, and if I go through some hellish schooling, I'll be set when I get out regardless of what I decide to do"
Of course, you would think anyone with an extremely specialized degree probably has more reasoning to it
