Yes, we NEED more students to pursue STEM careers. We also need to encourage students to learn to “love” science since an early age. They have that natural inquisitiveness and sense of wonder which is essential for a good scientist, yet we have to encourage it, not stifle it.

There are hundreds of thousands of open jobs waiting for STEM graduates to fill them. We need to be filling those jobs to create the economy of the future – we should be training more Americans to fill those jobs and encouraging it. We should also increase work visa allocations to interested foreigners with those degrees.

A potential idea I’ve considered for getting more people to graduate with STEM degrees is stronger student loan forgiveness for them. Scholarships already exist to a large degree, and we should be encouraging those when we can. But I think we should also step up funding as much as we can to get more people involved in STEM.

The government should also help to incentivize R+D that might not be immediately profitable for companies to engage in.

Just some thoughts

I got my knowledge since I became an adult.
I do not learn at a university.
In addition, I do not have the doctorate either.
However,
Greed to absorb information such as National Geographic is only strong.
I admit that interest in science and technology is strong.
I can understand “only Japanese”.
I leave the world before I understand English of people of “the intelligence” including EPA.
The word that I cannot translate exists even if I use translation software.
I want to obtain the intelligence in Japan.
In addition, there is “the request of the offer of a position” from “FRB” and “the Department of State”.
I do not know what myself should do.

It is interesting very much to contribute to progress of the technology while receiving stimulation each other.
I do an assay if I receive data.
I am not satisfied with the present environment.
However,
Because there are many “issue of language” and “environmental change” “plural offer of a position and requests”, I am troubled.
This is my feelings.
