The hottest acronym in higher education today is STEM. Naturally, countries are racing to boost their proficiencies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Getting ahead of the innovation game is how many, like South Korea and China notably, generate rapid economic growth and create jobs.

现如今，高等教育最热门的缩写词为STEM。当然，各国都努力提升他们在科学、技术、工程和数学方面的专业度。领先于创新竞争的是，有多少国家，尤其像韩国和中国，能够实现快速的经济增长并创造就业机会。

This has created a picture of STEM as an industry where college graduates can land a job and earn big bucks. In the UK, this is true to a certain extent. The following lists the top 10 highest paying STEM jobs in the UK, according to an analysis of over one million job ads by job search site Adzuna. Engineering fields dominate the table. At the top are aeronautical engineering degree or Master holders who command average offers of £51,448. Civil or chemical engineering degrees landed in second and fourth place with salaries of £47,503 and £45,527 respectively. But when it comes to job opportunities, the analysis found that these large paychecks don’t come in great numbers. “Due to their niche nature, only 220 job ads across the UK mention either of these subjects as a requirement to apply for the role,” according to Adzuna.

这将STEM描绘成了一个大学毕业生可以找到工作并赚取大笔资金的行业。在英国，这种说法在某种程度上是合理的。根据对求职网站Adzuna上超过一百万份招聘广告的分析，下图列出了英国收入最高的STEM职位。工程领域占主导地位。遥遥领先的是航空工程学位或硕士学位，平均薪酬为51,448英镑。土木或化学工程学位分别位居第二和第四位，薪酬分别为47,503英镑和45,527英镑。但是，当谈到就业机会时，分析发现这些高薪水的职位并没有很大的用人需求。根据Adzuna的说法，“由于他们的利基性质，英国只有220个招聘广告中将这些专业作为申请职位的要求之一。”

Instead, the most in-demand jobs are those requiring a technology degree. Applicants with a Computer Science degree were the most sought after with a huge 4,236 job vacancies followed by Information Technology (IT) with 1,847.The authors wrote these findings suggest “two routes for graduates from these disciplines: one that leads to highly-skilled professional jobs and another that leads to routine employment or unemployment.”

相反，最有用人需求的工作是那些需要技术学位的工作。拥有计算机科学学位的申请人是最受追捧的，在这个行业有4,236个职位空缺，其次是信息技术（IT），共有1,847个职位空缺。作者写道，这些研究结果表明 “这些学科的毕业生有两个结果：一是从事高技能专业工作和另一个则是从事常规工作或失业。”

The name printed on one’s degree matters play a role too. “A disproportionate number” of STEM graduates from “higher status universities,” such as those in the Russell Group, land high-skilled graduates after graduating compared to more recently-established institutions.

印在学位证书上的学校名字也起着重要作用。从“更具声望的大学”毕业的STEM毕业生，比如罗素集团的毕业生，在毕业之后成为高技能人才的情况，与新成立大学的毕业生的就业情况相比，两者比例并不协调。

STEM ：STEM是科学（Science），技术（Technology），工程（Engineering），数学（Mathematics）四门学科英文首字母的缩写。STEM课程重点是加强对学生四个方面的教育：一是科学素养，即运用科学知识（如物理、化学、生物科学和地球空间科学）理解自然界并参与影响自然界的过程；二是技术素养，也就是使用、管理、理解和评价技术的能力；三是工程素养，即对技术工程设计与开发过程的理解；四是数学素养，也就是学生发现、表达、解释和解决多种情境下的数学问题的能力。
