Is a non-STEM degree worth it?

Not going to uni lol just curious.

lmao even if you do have your head where the sun doesn't shine when it comes to degrees and whether or not their worth it, there are loads of non-stem degrees with high earning potential, like economics, which is, i assume, what you base your ideas on

Economics at degree level involves a lot of mathematics, it may not be completely STEM, but it's heavily STEM-based in that respect.

i know i study it and if you try to include yourself in the stem gang you will get laughed it

plenty of memes on the subject exist

Ah, fair enough. There you go then. Personally, I would think that a lot of it fits into STEM, but I guess it's not just STEM that rules after all.

very few economics students will get through three years without having taken at least a few non-quantitative modules. although econometrics and mathematical economics are increasingly prevalent, most will study applied economics, history and/or theory at some point which the traditional stem student wouldn't have to do

While that is true, I just think that economics has enough mathematics in it to be classed as STEM or extremely close to it, especially because of things like econometrics (which you mentioned).

yes but it doesn't compare to a stem degree which entirely avoids the non stem aspects of economics

Fair enough. Yes, I see your point.
