STEM, also meaning Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (http://www.ed.gov/stem), is one the aggregates what could be consider some of the most highest growing industries for jobs today. Simply, we need more workers in STEM, more software developers, more engineers, essentially more individuals in technology. As such, with IoT, scaling and gamification to help teach the user at a faster pace, and further take advantage of some innovations that are occurring today.

STEM Jobs: Most Likely Yes
STEM – an acronym for “Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math” – is one of the fastest growing fields in the world, and the U.S. is especially lagging when it comes to churning out more STEM workers.
A report from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economics and Statistics Administration says that STEM jobs have grown three times as fast as non-STEM jobs in the past decade. Job outlook is even more favorable with a 17% rise in jobs expected through 2018, compared to a modest 9.8% growth rate for non-STEM jobs through 2018.
This means that a STEM degree would not only significantly boost your annual salary (giving you more money to pay off your student loans faster), but you’ll also have job security that most other professions don’t have due to the high demand.
An article on “grad school degrees that are worth the debt” from Kiplinger in 2014 is almost entirely filled with STEM jobs such as civil engineering with an expected 20% job growth and a $102,000 mid-career salary for a civil engineer with a Master’s degree. Software developers are looking at an expected 22% job growth and a $117,000 mid-career annual salary for someone with a Master’s degree in computer systems.
STEM jobs don’t always require graduate degrees—sometimes they don’t even require Bachelor’s degrees—but in this field, going to graduate school would most likely be worth the cost.

Often times, I suggest to learn how to code, as it much as necessary skill to that of changing the oil in your car. Creating that kind ubiquitous growth, will help people spend less time learning how an application works, and more time intuitively working an a device for example.
With Microsoft’s Power BI, within in the cloud displaying the number of STEM workers, and the need for some data acquisition to display this is a possible other reason for demand to be fulfilled.
