What kind of person typically thrives in a STEM career? Someone with a strong work ethic who enjoys intellectual challenges; questions the norm; is interested in math and science; likes solving tough problems; and doesn’t let risk of failure hold them back. STEM programs aren’t easy, but for those suited to these career paths, the rewards can be significant.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 93 out of 100 STEM occupations have salaries above the national occupational wage average and STEM’s average wage was $87,570, nearly double that of non-STEM occupational wages ($45,700). Plus, BC graduates are among the highest earners in Florida!
