Remember that STEM includes Technology and Engineering . Both of those fields do not require anything past a bachelor ' s to get a good steady career . Now of course there are jobs available only to people with advanced degrees in those fields , but they are not required to get a job . As for math , I think some fields are more useful than others . Someone with a good statistics undergrad has a number of options , especially if they study some basic programming on the side , and a discrete mathematics background can open doors into the software realm as well . It ' s really only science degrees that usually require advanced education to become useful . And that ' s only one of the 4 pieces of STEM . <| sep |> Secret Rally the Ancestors tech ?
