"Good money" is a relative term, m8.

If you're doing it for any reason other than sincerely enjoying it, you're going to get ripped a new asshole.

This. I work as a teacher and I only make 59k/year but I love my job and my hours. I also pick up other "fun" jobs in the summer when I'm off depending on what I'm curious about.

Ofcourse, stem pays well. But people have overly positive expectations of their stem degrees in general. The unemployment is quite high for stem. In europe engineers are actually the highest unemployed group.

yes, but if you're basing your decisions on how well paid you will be, you're likely not going to be good enough to earn "good money". a shit engineer gets shit pay, a shit physicist gets shit pay etc.

I graduated with a stem degree in 2010.

I'm posting from work right now while a model runs in the background. My daily work activities are mostly running models, processing results, and browsing the internet.

As for good money, that's all relative. However I am staring out the window at a newly purchased 2013 bimmer, have maxed my retirement accounts in the last couple years, am wearing nicer clothes with a good fit, and just booked a month long trip to japan and china for early next year. I'm not making /biz/-tier 300k any job starting or whatever, but I'm completely comfortable and going back for graduate school will up the pay scale a bit more.

That's above the median salary for Americans. By definition he's not poor.
