Less so. Science and math are talents. Which means some kid can come in and blow the doors of the place and make professors look like retarded children. They fucking hate that. So they use every single gatekeeping technique they can think of to protect their egos.
If you're somewhere where money is NOT being made, you're especially fucked with this shit, because it's goofy ideas like 'tenure' that decide who wins the conflict.
Take it from someone who left the science field in my rear-view: all high level STEM research is bullshit. When I was in graduate school years ago (early 2010s) I had determined using a small number of transgenic mice and other scientific research that our current understanding of Alzheimer’s and how it functions is incorrect. I wrote grants and the NIH refused funding because it disagreed with the current dogma.
Fast forward 5 years later and the scientist who was seen to be the world leader in this field, the same guy who’s research caused BILLIONS of dollars to be pointed in the wrong direction for treatment (meaning all drugs that came from that wasted money were no better than placebo) turned out to be false and deceptively manipulated.
Science is bullshit. Everyone in it for the most part is inept and getting a Ph.D. Is less a measure of intellect, good ideas, and hard work and more a measure of how good of a goy you are and how much abuse you’d be willing to take.
