WHAT ARE STEM JOBS?
STEM jobs are occupations that require an education in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics disciplines--and according to Payscale’s lead economist Katie Bardaro, “STEM jobs are hot right now.”
“Many of our products and services are evolving into technological, scientific or data driven enterprises,” she says. “In the time of big data, many firms are looking for candidates who know their way around a statistical program and the scientific process.”
Furthermore, the demand for STEM jobs is bolstered by the limited supply of candidates, she adds. “Even though the job market for STEM positions is white hot, there is still a dearth of new graduates in these fields relative to other fields like business and humanities. This strong demand combined with the limited supply work together to drive up the pay for these positions.”
EXAMPLES OF STEAM JOBS
1.Computer Systems Analyst
Computer systems analysis is a hybrid of information technology and business. And computer systems analysts leverage both their knowledge of information technology and business to design better computer systems and processes for their clients.
2. Software developer
Software developers invent the technologies that you take for granted every day. For instance, that app that rings, sings or buzzes you out of deep sleep in the morning? A software developer helped design that.
3. Statistician
The famous mathematician and statistician John Tukey once told a colleague, “The best thing about being a statistician is that you get to play in everyone’s backyard.”
At its most basic, statistics is the science of using data to make decisions. Statisticians decide what data they need to answer a certain question; they determine how to collect this data; they design experiments, collect data, analyze and interpret the data and then report conclusions.
