"According to the US Department of Labor "between 2017 and 2029, the number of STEM jobs will grow 8%". However, "only 20% of US high school graduates are prepared for college-level coursework in STEM majors" (American Affairs, 2019). A 2012 report outlined that fewer than 40% of students who enter college intending to major in a STEM field complete a STEM degree. STEM disciplines include physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, statistics, computer...

"Sometimes things just go south and there isnt a damn thing you can do about it. Gideon Eagle Carpenter eased his body back slowly until he was entirely prone, linked his fingers behind his head and stared up at the stars. This was San Francisco. Viewing stars wasnt always easy because fog liked to creep in at night, at least where he was located. He was on the roof of the four-story, wedged shaped original warehouse made of red bricks that rose like...
