"“With research rigor and bracing clarity, Wasted Education reveals America’s real STEM problem—and the real costs of a hustling, relentless corporate culture.” -- Margaret O’Mara | author of ""The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America"" “This important book highlights how the unprecedented effort to push students into STEM degrees is both misguided and wasted by the lack of opportunity when they hit the job market. The STEM effort to do economic planning with students should be the biggest issue in economic policy. ” -- Peter Cappelli | author of ""Our Least Important Asset: How the Relentless Focus on Finance and Accounting Hurts Workers and Business"" “Wasted Education is a welcome and crucially important perspective on American education and workforce policy. Skrentny’s argument—that employers must share responsibility with schools for nurturing and rewarding STEM talent throughout their lives—must become a mantra if we're to see anything more than minimal improvement in our national human-capital system.” -- Mitchell Stevens | Stanford University"
