That can be true for some, but an engineering/STEM degree is a fair predictor of success in this game.

Very true. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to be a pilot. But the logical training of an engineering/STEM degree is more akin to flying a plane.

Some degrees will have 10 people with 15 squishy opinions and everyone is fine and okay with their feelings. Feelings matter, not facts. If you feel like the gear is down it is okay, I would not want to disagree with you when it is not.
