In Launching the Innovation Renaissance I argued that acceptance were not admission with the degrees that pay (see as well my section in the Chronicle of Higher Education).
In 2009 the U.S. accelerating 37,994 students with bachelor's degrees in computer and advice science. This is not bad, but we graduated more acceptance with computer science degrees 25 years ago!
The adventure is the afore mentioned in added technology fields such as actinic engineering and algebraic and statistics. If acceptance aren't belief science, technology, engineering and math, what are they studying? In 2009 the U.S. accelerating 89,140 students in the beheld and performing arts,
added than in computer science, math and actinic engineering combined and added than bifold the number of beheld and assuming arts graduates in 1985. So what has happened back 2009? The acceptable account is that acceptance in STEM fields has added dramatically.
The amount of graduates with computer science degrees, for example, has added by 34%, actinic
engineering degrees are up by a whopping 49.5% and algebraic and statistics degrees accept added by 32%. The bad account is that we are still graduating added acceptance in the visual and assuming arts than in computer science, algebraic and chemical engineering combined.
As I said in Launching annihilation amiss with the beheld and assuming arts but those are degrees which are absurd to generate spillovers to society.
We are as well admission added students in communications and journalism than in computer science, algebraic and chemical engineering accumulated and more acceptance in attitude than in computer science, algebraic and actinic engineering combined. Here's what I said about psychology:
In 2009 we accelerating 94,271 students with attitude degrees at a time if there were just 98,330 jobs in clinical, counseling and school psychology in the absolute nation. The latter amount isn't new jobs —
it's absolute jobs! Despite these problems, the amount of psychology degrees conferred annually has added since 2008-2009 by an alarming 21.4%! Visual and assuming arts degrees have added by 9.7% and advice and journalism degrees are up 8.1%. Do you think that jobs in these fields accept gone up by according percentages? Stated differently, in 2012-2013 we graduated 20,418 added acceptance
in computer science, chemical engineering and algebraic and statistics than we did in 2008-2009 but we also graduated 20,179 added acceptance in attitude alone! We accept a long way to go.
