Higher Remuneration
It has also been noted that those who’ve earned their degrees in STEM areas earn a very
higher salary. The initial starting salary projections for Class of 2019 bachelor’s degree
graduates strongly indicate that the top-paid graduates this year are expected to earn
engineering ($69,188), computer science ($67,539), and math and sciences degrees
($62,177). In 2019, it was found that people in the United States with a Master’s degree in
Engineering had the highest average starting salary, at 82,589 U.S. dollars. People who held
a Master’s degree in Computer Science had the second-highest starting salary, at 81,466 U.S.
dollars.
Job Satisfaction
Employees who enjoy their jobs are more likely to be productive and successful, and several
surveys indicate that STEM majors report some of the highest levels of job satisfaction. 80%
of mathematics majors, for example, report being satisfied with their jobs, and 85% report
that “things are generally going well.” By comparison, 70% of English majors are satisfied with
their jobs, with closer to 74% reporting that “things are generally going well.”
Flexibility
STEM courses are typically more flexible. For example, an engineering student can pursue
chemical engineering, computer science, environmental science, and so on. Students with
undergraduate biological sciences degrees can pursue graduate options like dental school,
pharmacy school, medical school, or veterinary school. Additionally, many STEM skills are
cross-marketable. Studying science and technology fields gives students a foundation in
mathematics, problem-solving, research methods, and much more.
Diversity
Studying and working in a STEM field provides opportunities to work and interact in a diverse
environment. Studies have shown that STEM classes and careers are among the most
ethnically diverse in the United States today. Pursuing a STEM degree offers increased
opportunities for women and diverse ethnicities, and this also gives any STEM graduate a rich
and diverse environment for working and learning.
Launch your Start-up and Impact Society Using Your STEM Degree
STEM workers are on the cutting edge of innovation in fields like computer technology,
medicine, engineering, design, robotics, and more. It is seen that graduates of STEM
programs have been successful in establishing their start-ups. For being successful you have
to be creative and innovative. Students from a STEM field are trained to think of creative
ways to develop your software or your new app or create a gadget. This ability to discover,
innovate, and ultimately impact society is one reason that STEM majors are a major attraction
among international students.
