We live in an era of STEM obsession. Not only do tech companies dominate American enterprise and economic growth while complaining of STEM shortages but we also need scientific solutions to impending crises. As a society we have poured enormous resources including billions of dollars into cultivating young minds for well - paid STEM careers. Yet despite it all we are facing a worker exodus with as many as 70% of STEM graduates opting out of STEM work. Sociologist John D. Skrentny investigates why and the answer he shows is simple: the failure of STEM jobs. Wasted Education reveals how STEM work drives away bright graduates as a result of burn and churn management practices lack of job security constant training for a neverending stream of new and often socially harmful technologies and the exclusion of women people of color and older workers. Wasted Education shows that if we have any hope of improving the return on our STEM education investments we have to change the way we re treating the workers on whom our future depends.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Wasted Education How We Fail Our Graduates In Science Technology Engineering And Math\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Skrentny John D.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The University Of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780226825793\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256 Pages, 7 Halftones\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 11\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Sociology \u0026amp; Anthropology","brand":"Skrentny John D.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49593426706737,"sku":"IN-G-9780226825793","price":23.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780226825793.jpg?v=1753226005","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780226825793-wasted-education-how-we-fail-our-graduates-in-science-technology-engineering-and-math","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
