Re: Study: U.S. needs fewer, not more, science students

And, to add something (OK, probably about a penny) to what Chris is saying, not only do we find the best students in the pool, but the ones that don't go into STEM fields will have some appreciation for what the ones that do have to deal with. It's never a bad thing to have a general understanding of a subject; you may not be able to do it, but you'll have a much better chance of understanding what that [insert favorite STEM-type major/career here] working for you is always talking about! Or at least, he won't have to spend as much time explaining it to you...
