In recent years there has been a major effort to revive STEM subjects that include science, technology, engineering and math. The lack of skilled manpower in these fields has led to encouraging the development of interest in these subjects while students are still in school.

This does not mean that your career options get limited to being a researcher, an engineer or a robotics specialist. There are any number of interesting jobs that will be open to you as a result of your mastering the STEM subjects. Some of these include jobs that may never show you the inside of a laboratory at all.

Many of these jobs are new and have just developed in the last few decades. Take for instance Climate Change Analysts. They are in great demand. Their apparent ability to use scientific principles and mathematical calculations to predict the effect of human activity on climate change is much in demand.

Another interesting career option includes becoming a Cartographer. While maps have been made since times immemorial the data that a good photogrammetrist can provide can be invaluable for the accuracy of the new generation of maps.

Maps can give us topographic, climate, and even political information so there is no chance of such a job becoming tedious or boring.  Why not make as accurate a map you can of your own neighborhood as part of your science project?
