[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STEM fields are growing where other jobs are being cut back. If you want your kids to make a living wage, other than the traditional professions, STEM jobs will provide a solid future. There are shortages in STEM fields now, while other fields are flat or shrinking.

Any data to support this?[/quote]

Actually, a Google search sends a more mixed message. Many sources point to a shortage of STEM professionals, while others refute that shortage. Here's one example: http://seattletimes.com/html/opinion/2020963312_edlazowskaopedxml.html. The story is entitled :Guest: STEM graduate shortage? Computer science is where the future jobs are." Nationwide there is a well-documented shortage of graduates in computer science, writes guest columnist Edward D. Lazowsk. He says that there isn't a shortage of STEM professionals, but that there is a shortage of computer science professionals. In his words, the field is "booming."[/quote]
