I think this pretty much sums it up. As >>11153543 and >>11153591 say, if you get into a top school you have your choice of work; otherwise the only way you're going to get anywhere is if you either have social connections that can get you a job, or belong to some sort of "oppressed" class.

If you're a white male and you can't get into a first-rate college (be it due to average grades or lack of money), don't bother going into STEM. You'll spend your life fighting with your fellow STEMcels for the scraps everyone else didn't want, while the job you actually aspired to goes to someone with half your ability because society feels political pandering is more important than things like functioning infrastructure and technological advancement.
