Those who did NOT pursue STEM.......... do you think you'd be capable of doing well in it?

[________________]

You know, they say people that are good at English/Communications/History/etc aren't particularly good at (or interested in) Math/Science and the other way around.

 

But.

 

Some people are generally good at everything and any path they pick will be a breeze.

 

They're just good at everything. But not necessarily interested in everything.

 

Of course, all STEM fields are quite different. Physics, CS, Chemistry, Nursing, Pre-med.. all quite different.

[Ego ista]

I’m not interested in it at all

especially the Tech and Engineering parts

I kind of like Science amd Math but as a job I don’t think I’d do well

[CALICO CAT]

no ew

[coval]

I would have been fine with sciences and tech

maths is a fucking bitch that can choke 

 

god why am i doing accounting OTL

[BadByeBae]

God, no, once I hit chemistry I was toast. Physics wasn't great easier. I'm all abstract thinking and words, none of this data stuff.

Lowkey jealous of these people  

Idk, I was good at math, chemistry & English at school but sucked at physics so idk

[HATEmeCUZyouAINTme]

Although I'm doing a STEM course now, I'm positive I would've excelled in a math or engineering course, prob even better than I'm doing in my present course. 

 

I've always been good in math and physics since I was a child.

[Polaris_Tae]

Possibly, I got good grades in science in HS. I'd probably study something related to biology or something that would lead to employment in medical research.

[grooot]

STEM matches my abilities best, but i think i could do well in the Arts but id be hella stressed out all the time

Not English tho. Id kms

I have seen people going from teaching or marketing to doing pretty good in engineering or computer science. I have seen people doing well in arts, social science and stuff, getting overly confident and getting completely crush in stem and going back to something else. And also, the game is completely different between high school and college. The vast majority of engineering students did pretty well during high school, and engineering school just pack them all together and increase the difficulty and recreate another curve.

So people who already got degrees and then went back to school/self taught?

[Rose.]

i'm all-around good in all 4 core subjects, with english and science my lowest over math and history

The guy in marketing switched to engineering, the teacher literally worked for 5 years and then went back to school for computer science and they're doing above average which is pretty good giving the average. But they're not the type of person to be good at everything or stuff. It's just people exploring, discovering interests and talents, taking stuff more seriously. One of my high school physics teacher went to Harvard. He's extremely good at physics but said that he would've done terribly in premed. Really, sometimes it's fine to be specialized, if you write some great mangas or produce great songs, you'll mark the history and people will remember you.

i could never. i don't like math, i'm not good at math beyond like.. high school algebra II so i avoid STEM at all costs. i've always been better at writing so it was more natural for me to pursue a major related to what i'm more comfortable with

[mochi101]

Possibly med, yes. but math. no.

[love]

i’d probably be okay with anatomy & physiology/biology...fuck chemistry though. and math. those were the bane of my high school existence

[loonatrash]

Probably no

 

I sucked at Math in Grade 9, Science in Grade 10 & Media Design this year

 

I've always been more of an arts person honestly

[beingpositivehere]

maybe yes, i was science student in hs and got pretty good score and interest in them. even in my talet test engineering and IT is the most recommended and my current major is the least one. But idk, hs and uni is not the same
