    I know, its really a shame about all those low paying STEM jobs. I remember back when I was a kid I used to tell everyone I wanted to be an engineer when I grew up, but all the moneys in literature and poetry so thats what I had to do. Damn you, capitalism!

      There’s a difference between being an engineer and being a physicist. One deepens our understanding of the universe and the other uses our understanding of physics to build products. One is clearly valued more by capitalism.
