The median pay for psychologists in 2021 was $81,040.Īccording to the same source, the job outlook is 13% for economists, 25% for operations research analysts, and 32% for medical and health services managers for the same period, with a median pay of $105,630, $82,360 and $101,340, respectively.Īt IDP India, we have also seen a gradual increase in student inquiries and applications in non-STEM courses.Īmong international students, Indians have shown a great deal of interest in courses like Business, Data and Marketing Analytics, Psychology, Engineering Management, Economics, Finance, Financial Planning, Risk Management, Health Administration, Public Health, Sports & Exercise Science, Public Policy, Regulatory Affairs, Urban Planning, Fashion Design, Brand Management, Film, Media, Performing Arts and many more in the US. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics, for example, shows psychology as a profession has seen tremendous growth and is expected to grow 8% from 2020-2030. There are various courses that have already shown positive statistics. So, even if a student opts for STEM courses, they have the option to take non-STEM courses along with it. A student can take science and music simultaneously, explore their area of interest, and decide in which stream they want to build their career. IDP’s flagship event to guide study abroad aspirants – IDP Talk, also discussed the increase in the non-STEM courses in the US in Season 3.Īnother reason for this is that the US offers a unique dual degree program that allows students to undertake two subjects of varied fields. Beyond this, it is interesting to know that there is a vast demand for non-STEM jobs in the US, leading to the rise in non-STEM courses across institutions. The Biden administration has recently added 22 new STEM Optional Training Programs, allowing students to gain temporary employment related to their field of study. It is a well-known fact that the US leads in providing the best STEM courses globally. The report also states that the employees’ core performance areas are changing due to technological breakthroughs like automation and artificial intelligence. It emphasises on the demand for a person’s interpersonal skills, such as communication, empathy, and creativity. While researching the gradual shift towards non-STEM fields, I came across the McKinsey Global Institute trends report, which stated how the need for job skills will change between now and 2030. And what’s interesting is that except for two, all are non-STEM skills, which means they do not fall under the purview of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. “The US offers a unique dual degree program that allows students to undertake two subjects of varied fields”Ī recent study by the World Economic Forum revealed that creativity, originality and emotional intelligence are among the top 10 in-demand skills in 2023.
