Yea fuck STEM and AI and cloud stourage… we need art right now lol. How can our country advance with these types of priorities from the leaders? You first need to address the real imbalance in education around the country, which condemns the youth to having limited opportunities. There are only so many barbers and low-skilled laborers you can add to the market. You need degrees that, by their nature, produce business ideas and solutions that create more jobs for society.
