True but STEM still usually lends itself to less social interaction than many other jobs such as education, nursing, arts, etc.

Education and nursing are the outliers, most jobs don't do much in terms of interaction and with wfh becoming the norm for office jobs this is dropping rapidly. The arts are not really a profession, they are a calling more than a means to sustain yourself.

That depends on how you classify arts. I meant it as a catch all for the entire entertainment industry. Related to that are other “creatives” such as advertising. Then a good chunk of people are either politicians, political operatives or lawyers, those are all heavily people oriented jobs.
Edit: Forgot sports and the entire industry around that.

Ah good point. To me arts = artists, not entertainers, but you are totally right they should probably be included. When I think art I think paintings, statues, not movies or books but that's a shortcoming on my end.

Totally understandable, it was poorly worded on my part.
