The book's main thesis seem interesting and original: For the past 50 years, employers and politicians have regarded educating more Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math graduates as a panacea, but the businesses that employ these graduates doesn't behave as if this is true.
- A large part of graduates drift off to fields outside irrelevant to their field of study
- non-STEM management positions are higher paid than supposedly more in demand STEM jobs
- Employers prefer hiring new employees over investing in current STEM employees.

The author's discussion and examples are (by intention) purely US centric. I read it to see if these are relevant to the European labour market too.
