I think I understand your main idea here - we need well balanced individuals in the business world today. My best example of this is a good friend who has an undergrad degree in EE, then went and got her legal degree. She does amazing work in intellectual property law for a tech company.

Having that early training in how to process and think about science, or math, or engineering, builds a baseline that helps expand your abilities as an adult. I started out as an engineer and moved into marketing and social media. That ability to problem solve and be analytical has been a huge factor in my success!

The piece also missing today is the "A" in STEAM - "arts". In the end, we need to think about being well-rounded individuals and allowing children to expand into many areas of interest.
