Among computer and mathematical scientists, 42% have their highest degree in a mathematical or computer science field, and 20% do not have a degree in any S&E or S&E-related field of study. (See the Glossary section for definition of non-S&E occupations.) Education and Training of Workers in STEMĮxcept for computer and mathematical scientists, most workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher in S&E occupations have their highest degree in the same broad field as that of their occupation ( Table LBR-2). (See the Glossary section for definitions of middle-skill occupations and non-STEM occupations.) Hence, workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher in non-S&E occupations include those in middle-skill and non-STEM occupations. The primary data source for the analysis of STEM workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher, NCSES’s NSCG, does not allow for workers in middle-skill occupations to be identified separately from those in non-STEM occupations. (See the Glossary section for definitions of S&E occupations and S&E-related occupations.) The extent to which individuals with degrees in S&E or S&E-related fields (see the Glossary section for definitions of S&E fields and S&E-related fields) work in S&E and S&E-related occupations is also examined, as is the use of S&E expertise across occupations. It also presents data on the level and type of degree attained by workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher in a subset of STEM occupations-that is, S&E and S&E-related occupations. This section describes the STEM workforce based on the prevalence of degree attainment, certifications, and licenses among these workers. Not all STEM degree holders work in STEM occupations, and the degree to which STEM-capable workers enter and remain in the STEM workforce has implications for the U.S. These pathways include taking courses in STEM and career technical education at the secondary level (for more details, see the Indicators 2022 report “ Elementary and Secondary STEM Education”), postsecondary education through attainment of 2- and 4-year degrees or certificates (for more details, see the forthcoming Indicators 2022 report “ Higher Education in Science and Engineering”), or the acquisition of certifications or licenses (NASEM 2017). There are multiple pathways into the STEM workforce.

As the population grows, more homes will need to be built and the infrastructure in towns and cities will rely on skilled engineers. People who work in the health sector rely hugely on their scientific skills, whilst the finance sector requires people who are a whizz with numbers. Many of the jobs of the future will involve technology as the way that people work will continue to change. From designing visual fx for a new film, to working as a physiotherapist for an athlete, to inventing a new hi-tech health scanner, to manufacturing a racing car or putting new satellites into space there are thousands of exciting and well paid opportunities. With STEM skills, you can make a big contribution to many of the big challenges facing society today. Studying STEM subjects leads directly to a huge variety of exciting and rewarding career opportunities. Over 60% of all new jobs created are to be found in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
