Quit complaining that you don't have a job!! You only have yourself to blame for choosing a Mickey Mouse major! "Big data analytics" are going to carry us into the future. There are already so many STEM jobs that it has become standing room only in Silicon Valley. But even if you don't have a degree, fear not; for the economy is recovering and you'll soon get to use your degree because employers are looking for "critic thinking skills" that you learned at your university. We are all going to work at Twitter and sit around on bean bags "coding" on our Macbook Pros. I just leased a BMW because I know I'll be able to pay it off when I get a job at Google
If by STEM you mean engineering and computer science perhaps but science and nonapplied mathematics majors are nearly as worthless as liberal arts. And once Congress caves to their corporate masters and let there be an h1-b free for all that gravy boat will sink into the bay as well.
99.999% of STEM grads won't be working In silicon valley. STEM degrees are not very valuable at all. Science majors can't find jobs. Who is going to hire a math major!?! What exactly is a "technology" major? Computer science isn't technology or a ticket to anything great.
Please educate yourself! I assume your some old out of touch parent who is alway complaining about mellinals or something.

Oh. Here is my favorite part of your post. "But even if you don't have a degree, fear not; for the economy is recovering and you'll soon get to use your degree because employers are looking for "critic thinking skills" that you learned at your university." WHAT?!?!?! LOL!
"Just go major in a STEM!" Um. That's not everyone's calling and everyone's different. I went to college to exercise my choice and to do what I love, not to just do whatever I "need" to to get by. Life is too short for that. If everyone did major in these, it'd become over-saturated and there'd be a shift in demand.

Life is also too short to struggle through life barely getting by because of all of these virtually useless degrees that people are paying out the ass for thinking they will land a job when all it does is put them in debt and puts them behind the counter at Starbucks.
Colleges shouldn't even be allowed to offer (or at least charge for) many of these what the OP referred to as "Micky Mouse" degrees anymore.
At first, I thought "typical American ********."
You know, the HS drop-out who knows how everything works; just because he is American.
Reading it again, I realized it was from "The Onion."
Undercover.

Do not major in civil engineering, unless you like having zero job security, and like being underpaid and overworked.
Job prospects within that grouping is probably ranging from zero to plentiful and varying from one place to the next... so its not like much is being said.
Mostly there just aren't enough jobs for everyone, STEM or otherwise.
