Why would-be Engineers end up as English majors
proofmathisbeautiful:

I’ve said it before…Engineering school is not easy!! You gotta stick with it!!

“Undergraduates across the country are choosing to leave science, technology, engineering and math programs before they graduate with those degrees. Many students in those STEM fields struggle to complete their degrees in four years, or drop out, according to a 2010 University of California, Los Angeles, study.”

I just wrote about this video on pancake theorem, talking about how grades hinder innovation and creativity and, as a result, STEM.

  Interesting article, and while it did mention the engineers switching majors, it wasn’t really to English specifically....

  Oh so sad. Remember your kid should be praised for effort not intelligence. Teach them to stick, not to be”right”.
