The world needs managers, and plenty of other positions - and the free market determines what people get paid.
The value proposition of getting a non-STEM degree is pretty bad, and with only a little exception, the "knowledge" gained from it (scare quotes and all) is generally pretty useless. Go to a book store. Last year's text book is there for 25% of the price.
There's a balance between open collaborative environments and solitary confinement cubes.
Someone here will disagree with any configuration you suggest because their particular slice of the autism spectrum doesn't allow them to work in their own special snowflake way.
Ask a physician if what he does is science, if (s)he is a scientist. There is a some science in medicine but mostly medicine is a field of applications.
If my doctor doesn't think what he does is science, I'm getting a new doctor...
Most is a waste of time. Academia offers little for most graduates in non-STEM courses that isn't obtained by going out and getting a damned job and learning what the real world is like 10 hours a day instead of spending 52 minutes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons 9 months a year with 10 weeks off for breaks.
Oh, you got a marketing degree? Did your study group make a presentation? We'll be sure to put it up on the refrigerator with your gold star. You can look at it every day while paying off your tuition for the next 20 years.
Are there a minority of graduate-level experts in history and art who do great things who benefited from a couple more years of schooling? Sure....but how much of the world needs to be made up of research historians and future art professors?
MOST is a colossal waste. How many non-science degree'd folk would have been better off by just getting a damned job in their profession a couple years sooner?
Also, I see that medicine is debated below as "non-STEM," but I'd call it science, for sure.
Or, you know, I'm trolling, and getting modded down by people with useless degrees that they use to impress other people with useless degrees so they all feel better about their "accomplishments."
Maybe there is 1000 that I think I might want - I think there are probably about 10 I actually would use on a regular basis.
To be clear, I've got 95 icons on my phone, meaning I've got 60 things that aren't "Phone," "Settings," or the full suite of Google apps.
I use about 5 of those on the average day. I use about 15 of those in an average week. I've probably got 10 of them I can delete right now - but space is cheap.
There's a ton of duplication, but not without some feature or preference issue. While I can imagine that the most obvious flashlight features are duplicated across all flashlight apps, I'm sure that there's a number of features (like support for specific phones and odd hardware lights, and widgets) preferences (tray icon, UI), or innovations (auto-off, strobe) that haven't been incorporated into the One True Flashlight App just yet....now when you want the one with the "help me" strobe that supports S4 gestures to change modes, you need some duplication.
There's also a dozen niche apps. How many Magic The Gathering life counters do you need? [I'm nerd enough to know there's plenty of room for different apps here.] How many keyboards do you need? How many pop the bubbles games do you need?
Just because you can't run a million apps doesn't mean that the thousand you could possibly use are the same as the thousand I could possibly use. Combine your thousand and my thousand and now we've probably got only 100 that overlap. You couldn't care less about having multiple Nissan Leaf apps because Torque Pro doesn't support reading advanced battery values from it -- but I do. Someone else cares about all sorts of stuff neither of us do.
I have a friend that was offered 1M to walk from a business in 1990.
The only thing the 1M offer convinced him was that it was clearly worth more than 1M, so he held on, and today has nothing.
Wisdom now is to take your 1M and get some percentage of the future action, so when you're terribly wrong, and it's worth 1B instead, you don't have to kill yourself.
Political violence doesn't work to actually implement social change. It only plays into the hands of authoritarians who rule by fear, in this case fear of you. Kill Bernanke, and they have a great propaganda tool against your cause. And they can replace Bernanke with no trouble. And you haven't actually done anything to harm the people whose interests Bernanke is protecting.
I like to think I shouldn't have to say I am not advocating the assassination of Bernanke, but you never know around here...
That said, an assassination of Bernanke might actually raise consciousness of the whole, "Wait, huh, the Federal Reserve is WHAT?!?" issue. It'd dominate news cycles. The assassin's manifesto explaining how "evil" the whole thing is might get poured over on news channels that aren't Fox. Who knows.
The 1st amendment doesn't, and has never attempted to, make all speech "free." Treason is still treason. Libel and slander are still crimes. Threats of violence are still threats. Fire! in a theater isn't a great idea either.
...you just can't be told to not reasonably express your ideas.
I ordered hundreds of dollars of equipment from dx.com/dealextreme.com over the years.
The absolute worst things that's happened to me is that something was out of stock, and they credited me for my order.
Say what you want about ordering things on the slow boat from China, but DX, overall, has pretty good customer service -- especially for a company that'll send you a $2.97 butane torch (filled with butane!) from Asia, shipping included.
"Emerging markets" (and god knows what the scare quotes are for) likely need enterprise class equipment too.
Emerging markets can use hand-me-down SOHO equipment in their houses, classrooms and hotels, but those machines connect to something bigger, and throwing Vyatta on a used PC doesn't compare to a 6500 for your campus or 9000 for your new ISP.

My cigars thank them.
If only they had a toll-free fax number.
I still own a plain-paper fax, black construction paper, and a roll of tape.
Mobius fax, FTW.
They're probably busy. I'll fax them after they leave for the weekend.
I guess it's time to comment on their photos :)
