[LINK] The myth and the reality of science/tech/eng/maths careers

The article caught my attention because of the guy's title -- Google 
ANZ -- I'm thinking, Google bought the bank??!?! No, turns out ANZ is 
just short hand for Google in Australia and New Zealand, as if we 
were one country. But the article is a pitch for more science/maths 
graduates. Then you need to read the comments which expose this as a 
fallacy in terms of actual experience. A must read for Linkers.

My favourite last comment:

Will not the NBN create employment in STEM related technologies?

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
