Engineering yes. STEM..is more like a meme. take a look at the word "Science, Technology, Engineering, Math".
Science is as generic as "potato chips". Almost everything in nowadays falls under the term. (from soft to hard)
Technology almost always goes with Engineering and I would agree it is the only worthwhile field/branch
Math has become pretty useless. Engineering has some pretty hardcore math. This is why I believe engineering is king.
At the end of the day what matters is utility. You have to stay relevant to the market. If not then no matter what you study is pointless.
