>The four detailed occupations expected to add the most employment are registered nurses (712,000), retail salespersons (707,000), home health aides (706,000), and personal care aides (607,000). All have large employment in 2010 and are expected to grow faster than the average of 14.3 percent.
>One-third of the projected fastest growing occupations are related to health care, reflecting expected increases in demand as the population ages and the health care and social assistance industry grows.


LEL, STEMfags in America are in trouble.. All the jobs are in healthcare and retail.

>Occupations that typically need some type of postsecondary education for entry are projected to grow the fastest during the 2010-20 decade. Occupations classified as needing a master’s degree are projected to grow by 21.7 percent, followed by doctoral or professional degree occupations at 19.9 percent, and associate’s degree occupations at 18.0 percent.

LEL, bachelor's degree jobs not even growing as much as associate's degree jobs.. Better luck next .. decade, undergrads.


Why even bother with degrees in STEM and 4 year degrees in general?

I know a PhD in history who does this. Converted one of his friends from history to engineering as a result. These aren't desirable jobs, and not ones that require education.

>Home health care aids

There are no qualifications for this. A GED and on the job training qualify you. You're a glorified maid, make very little money (because you're a glorified maid), and the work is complete and utter shit. I know a few people who do or have done this, it's hellish. If cleaning up shit off of housebound people is your idea of a career, by all means, quit your STEM program and sign up.


For the past several years, engineering job growth has been primarily limited by production of graduates. It's slower than a lot of industries (lol home health care) precisely because there are more positions opening up than people graduating with engineering degrees.

Most of /sci/ is getting STEM 4 year degrees because they still comprise ~16% of the job market as opposed to 5.6% from associates degrees.

Most job growth for associate degrees is due to jobs that used to require only a diploma/GED are requiring some 2-year training.

I'm doing a 4 year STEM degree because I got a full-ride. So I can do research and get paid to learn about fucking science!

Then it's off to pharmacy school so I can make money in the healthcare industry.

>> No.4745270

>>4745211

There are about 80k engineering degrees -- of all types -- awarded per year. Total job growth of all engineering fields put together of a fifth any of the jobs listed would cover everyone graduating and more.

But you don't understand this, because you're retarded and you're comparing jobs with HS/GED requirements to those that require a specific BS.
