-STEM majors. Though these students move into the STEMdisciplines, many leave STEM prior to degree completion. Beggs, Bantham, and Taylor4suggested that there are basically four categories of factors that influence the career decisionmaking process. Included in these are the (a) influences of other individuals (family, friends,teachers) or media, (b) rewards of the job (extrinsic and intrinsic), (c) fit and interest in the fieldand (d) characteristics of the major/degree (ease of coursework, faculty reputation, exposure tointroductory material). The researchers implied that students made career decisions based not oneducation about the options and assessment of their personal values, interests and beliefs, but oninfluence and assumption
