Re: Careers in STEM - without a PhD.

Forget not the so-called Blue Collar jobs that go begging for lack of knowledge in mechanical aptitude and basic, practically-applied science and math.

If we can get past the biases that exist in the wider culture and the educationist intelligentsia, there are plenty of high-paying, cognitively challenging jobs in things like air conditioning, working for the local power company (with a little overtime, young people in my area [Los Angeles] are making six figures), elevator mechanic, a lot more.
