"A 2014 study by the National Science Board found that of 19.5 million holders of degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, only 5.4 million were working in those fields, and a good question is what they do instead. The Center for Economic Policy and Research, tracing graduates from 2010 through 2014, discovered that 28 percent of engineers and 38 percent of computer sciencetists were either unemployed or holding jobs that did not need their training.2"
- JesperRavn 11y agoThe second set of figures are from [0] and the figure of 28% is the smallest out of all majors. The figure for "Computer Scientists" is actually the "Math and Computers" section. From these figures, (non-software) engineering actually looks like the best choice from an employment perspective, but is roughly equal with education and health.
