> climbing that ladder can give them the money, power and influence to really make an impact. Have you tried converting money into power and influence lately? The exchange rate is terrible. The bay area has hundreds of thousands of STEM millionaires. Does the politics look like they're having a lot of impact? Admittedly, engineers might not have any particular advantage when dealing with issues like drug addiction - but you'd expect things like water infrastructure, new homes and construction of high speed rail would be well in hand. |

No, I suspect most of these millionaires are not doing much to help their communities. This is my point, there are few people with power and influence that are working for good. It would be great if more people established themselves and then started working to better the world.
Unfortunately it's like politics. The people you want in power don't want the power. The people you want to have money and influence tend to avoid it.
