Notice that whenever leftists truly come to power, for example in the case of the Soviet Union, the first thing they do is kill and replace the liberal arts intelligentsia - artists, musicions, media figures, authors, professors/teachers, just as you say. STEM positions are ideologically neutral and can be easily repurposed, as demonstrated by the successful Soviet advances in space travel. Yet these latter positions are the only thing the right encourages their children to go into. In the absence of anyone besides leftists promulgating culture, the eventually these STEMtards become the useful tech-slaves of the left. "High paying stem fields" is a meme; there are endless numbers of well paid leftists in all sort liberal arts fields; tenured professors are just one example. Non-leftists have completed missed the fact that the "long march through the institutions" has been overwhelmingly successful. There's no reason there couldn't be people of other opinions in those fields, other than their own blindness and obsession with material "utility" and fetish for hard work.

>It's a system of construction and you can't just skip steps.
Obviously you're not in construction, because it seems like the biggest corner-cutters make the most money.
I'm a semi-retired electrician, and it surprises me that more places don't burn down entirely.
As a sub a few years ago, a floorheat guy told me to "not make this more complicated than it needs to be" after I told him I wouldn't energize the 35A of heating coil he expected to run continuously on a 20A circuit (i.e. 16A limit on such a circuit, because used 3hrs+).
When I told the GC "no," he asked me why I cared so much. After telling him "because I don't want to damage your or my reputation."
...GC's response to me was "that's what I pay insurance for; connect the floorheat!"
Modernday construction is a disaster (particularly in residential; but I was IBEW for years and saw plenty of crappy work in commercial, too).

Weren't they firing people for being "overemployed" during covid?
Every piece of conventional job advice is an dissembly to keep employees constantly confused, broke, and controllable.
Working another job? Overemployment, fired.

Ten years at the same company? You lack ambition; job application denied.
Four companies in ten years? Unreliable job hopper; job application denied.
You tried to negotiate for a raise? Don't get uppity, fired.
You didn't get a raise last year? You gotta stand up for yourself and negotiate.
Great technical knowledge? That means you aren't a people person.
You're a great team player with solid references? Well you didn't meet this exact technical requirement.
You're overqualified.
You're underqualified.
Don't be a yes man.
Don't rock the boat.
Dance wagie, dance.

I really don't think it'd be that bad. Well, not much worse than what society in the west currently looks like, anyway. And look at who runs it. Brainless normalcucks.
