America Does Not Need More STEM Education

At this point, I'm not sure is Con is getting my argument because he still believes his static health care analogy accurately portrays what I'm saying about the labor market, so I'm going to water things down a little. My argument at hand is not about generally limiting supply. It's about realizing that domestic supply is remaining undeveloped due to an unfamiliarity with language arts. The dynamic endogenous demand required to become interested and successful in STEM is not being activated. We should also note that if pop culture demand goes down from the development of endogenous demand, product prices will go down as well. Instead, STEM expertise will be organically applied to students' own language arts instead, and STEM expert communities will become more widespread such that consumers won't need third party producers because they can use their own capital and hardware. For example, despite how parents of students acknowledge the necessity of STEM, few believe STEM is cared about enough, nor are parents willing to commit the resources needed to become successful in STEM. Likewise, even though parents would like their kids to pursue STEM careers, kids want to pursue careers in art and music instead. Also, barely half of parents agree about the value of STEM over global competitiveness, and less than half believe in STEM's value over solving problems. Even worse, barely a third believe in STEM as a well paying career, not even a third believe in STEM as being a fulfilling career in the future, and less than a third have children where STEM classes are their favorite subject in school: http://www.microsoft.com... Likewise, when students pursue STEM careers, they drop out from a lack of discipline and envied social lives. They aren't inspired enough to care about what they're studying: http://www.policymic.com... Furthermore, there's widespread understanding across STEM fields that communication skills are vital anyway. If language arts is lacking, then it's uncertain how people can or ought to succeed: http://www.onlinecollege.org... Likewise, music is an effective technique to get students interested and remain motivated in STEM fields: http://www.rdmag.com... Moving on, Salon is not a blog. It's a pioneering, award-winning, news site from a professional media group (and if anything, a "left-wing" reference would show honesty in evaluating Democrats). My reference also has around 19 secondary references about recent hi-tech labor lies. Con says that the industry evolves nicely, but that evolution is not sustainable. It's coming at the expense of the endogenous demand required to have something to produce. In fact, (as previously described) the debt, service, consumer economy that we're "evolving" towards is the real cause of why jobs are shipped overseas - a difference in wages and working conditions: http://www.salon.com... In contrast, Con referred to the single highly specialized field of biomedical engineering, and of course we should recognize that field having low levels of unemployment since America's health care system is becoming more dependent on Big Pharma. By no surprise, this dependence coincides at the same time that language arts are being ignored from elders not passing down language arts through the generations... ...all the while of a globalized labor supply that supplants domestic language arts by foreign language arts. The bottomline is that the sustainability of American STEM depends on familiarity with language arts. If you can't talk, then you can't work. If you can't celebrate who you are, then you can't be motivated to work.
