JOBS
The Hottest STEM Jobs of 2023
A
s 2022 comes to a close and the New Years' resolutions start to flow, you may have pursue a new career as one of your 2023 goals. The STEM field is growing now more than ever, with jobs in every sector of science, technology, engineering, arts and design and mathematics. Here are the top jobs in the STEM field going into the new year:
Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers
Bioengineers and biomedical engineers combine engineering principles with scienc- es to design and create equipment, devices, computer systems and software. They are usually responsible for designing and oper- ating medical equipment and devices, such as artificial organs, prosthetic limbs and diagnostic technology. The bioengineering ield is one of the highest in-demand jobs currently. They are estimated to grow at about 10 percent, a much higher rate than average. Education: Bioengineers and biomedical engineers typically need a bachelors degree in bioengineering, biomedical engineering or a related engineering ield. Some positions require a graduate degree. Top States of Employment: California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas Average Pay: $97,410 per year
Physicists
Physicists study the interactions of matter and energy. Theoretical physicists (including astronomers) may study the nature of time or the origin of the universe. They typically work on research teams to conduct research and experiments about the natural world, but they also work to design and create lasers, telescopes and other scientific equipment that will aid them in their research. Not only are jobs in this field in high demand, growing at about eight percent, but they are one of the highest-paid jobs in the STEM field today. Education: Physicists and astronomers typically need a PhD for jobs in research and ac- ademia. However, physicist jobs in the federal government typically require a bachelor's degree in physics. Top States of Employment: California, Colorado, Maryland, New York and Virginia Average Pay: $147,450 per year
