Give it to me straight... Just how many people are even scientists/comp sci?

How many even get a STEM degree.... my data is 1/3 go to university, 1/5 graduate, 1/10 get a STEM degree, then 1/10 of those get a MSc, then 3/10 of those get another MSc or PhD

At this point 25% of these have either died/dropped out/ alcohol/drugs/ dead end job/ suicided/ terrorism/ etc and are no longer in the game

For 100,000 people.... really only a handful, 4-8 are actually making it?

**I'm using stats from the ONS in the UK where the highest numbers go into university and then also one of the highest science rates
