Americans might remember when there was this term called the “brain drain”. By that we mean the country’s loss and/or decline of top scientists, technicians, engineers and mathematicians (often referred to as STEM fields) due to problems with our secondary school systems and competition from overseas. At present, the Bureau of Labor Statistics states there are just short of 6 million filling those occupations, but there is also an extreme need for more. In fact, the need is so acute, previous president George W. Bush and now Barrack Obama have put forth a number of programs to counter this situation, including financial aid, grants and public policy positions. Changing from your current occupation to one of these fields can be accomplished with online college classes as you work.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t trying to increase their numbers one way or another. That’s why the federal government started the STEM (for scientist, technologist, engineer and math) Program with the National Foundation of Science at the beginning of the 21st Century which now seems to dovetail perfectly with the many online schools.
