We should prepare our future workforce differently. It isn't just advanced STEM degrees. There are many jobs you can do without advanced degrees.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Today's advanced STEM graduate could be tomorrow's world-class, world-changing scientist.
We need more STEM grads, and we need to quit equipping our competitors.
Better degrees don't automatically translate into better skills and better jobs and better lives.
For the future, primarily, we must educate people in science, engineering, technology and math.
I would not encourage everyone to take up this profession. Not everyone is suited for any particular field.
Education is the key to the future.
We don't have enough people going into those fields and there is a high burnout rate in some health care professions, so it is very important that we get more people into the pipeline right now.
While we should certainly be investing in our own STEM education, we should take advantage of the thousands of international students who come here to study and are ready to fill these gaps immediately upon graduation.
It's not enough to train today's workforce. We also have to prepare tomorrow's workforce by guaranteeing every child access to a world-class education.
The majority of the new jobs being created require higher skills, more education.
