One of the points in this article that really irks me is the idea that STEM programs are creating workers whose skillset is outdated in 10-15 years because technology changes so quickly. The author implies that we need more doctors, lawyers, etc. whose skills somehow magically never become outdated.

You know what also changes constantly? Medicine, law, and many other fields. Physicians are constantly undergoing training and learning new things. To suggest that STEM fields are unique in that they are fast-paced and require constant evolution is ridiculous. Plus, that's hardly a negative. I can't imagine working in an industry that would remain stagnant for the entirety of a 50 year career. "The day you stop learning is the day you die. "
