Dr Julian’s Answer

Excellent question
There are many agencies that are working to increase the presence of women in STEM careers.
www.stemwomen.net,National Girls Collaborative Project and https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp/women
are a few of the organizations that help girls understand the importance of STEM as well as provide support to scientist
and researchers. This means the gap will become smaller today and when you are working and talking to students in the future
it may not exist at all.
Good luck

Hi Brianna,
Oh goodness...well first of all, the acronym STEM is a broad one so I'll just home in on the "E"...since after all, I am an engineer. All facets of engineering are set to really take off in the near to intermediate future in areas such as (1) better ways to make/provide energy, (2) better ways to get people from one place to another...even 'outter space', (3) Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, (4) supporting better living via clean food and water supplies et al, ...and many more. Those aforementioned high-level items imply the need to have energized and curious folks is Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil and Computer Science/Engineering.

It's poised and ready for a talent like yourself. :)

Carlos’s Answer

The STEM field is really taking off right now, especially in the US. The US is a service economy which means instead of manufacturing goods, the US provides services as a majority of their economy. The STEM field primarily is a service. The STEM field creates designs for technology or innovates new ideas that are then manufactured elsewhere. I would argue that this means that STEM is here to stay, especially as the US becomes more and more of a service based economy.

I spent some time working as an analyst for a talent acquisition team for a technology company and we were always struggling to find enough candidates. This is the same story for every company looking for job candidates with a STEM background. The demand for those kind of workers is continually growing, and there just isn't enough supply, which is why it is becoming more common to get people from other countries on visas to come to the US.

That all being said, the job growth and opportunity for those in the STEM field is huge due to the demand for these type of candidates. Thus, with a background in STEM you are likely to have great benefits, job security, room for growth, and great pay. Definitely a good area to go into!

Chris’s Answer

Stem careers typical pay well and are always in demand. We import many engineers through h1b visas because the us cannot provide enough.
The books I have read about the future focus on robotics, artificial intelligence and synthetic biology are the careers of the future.
