Glassdoor published their list of 25 Best Jobs in America, and it reveals a critical need for STEM careers. According to the list, the best jobs are in tech, professional services, and healthcare, with a large chunk requiring science, technology, engineering, and math backgrounds. The 25 jobs were ranked according to “Glassdoor Job Scores” which uses a scale from 1.0 to 5.0 determined by a position’s earning potential, career opportunities rating and number of open jobs listings.
As I scrolled through the list, I noticed that student success in STEM will be crucial for future job opportunities if we want to prepare our students to become lifelong learners and socially engaged contributors. The most glaring need exists for software engineers as Glassdoor lists 104,828 job openings. This is yet another reason why it is so important that we introduce coding to all of our students from elementary up to the high school level.
