The Most Interesting Careers In Science

Have you ever wondered what cool STEM jobs are out there?

We’ve been asked a lot about what interesting careers in science are out there so we thought we’d put up a post to help you figure it out. There are so many to choose from it can be a bit overwhelming but that also gives you a lot to choose from! Whatever you like – animals, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology – there is bound to be a cool science career to go along with it. The Super Science Team at HTMSPFK has compiled a short list of what we thought were helpful sites in your quest for more information on the most interesting careers in science.

US News

US News makes big lists every year on all sorts of fun and informative stuff. Each year they make a few that relate to our quest for science careers such as – Best Science Jobs and Best STEM Jobs. Both of these lists have really good information and are great for getting background statistics on some interesting jobs for you to think about!

Business Insider

Business Insider made their own list. It’s got a cooler name – 12 Awesome Jobs For People Who Love Science – but not quite as much detail on each job as the US News list. Also, it’s from 2015, but the information is good and it’s well worth a look!

Balance

Balance, another business/money mag, has put out a good list as well – 9 Careers in Science. It was updated in 2019 and has some good detail to it with links off to even more explanations and in-depth information. If you’re looking for some inspiration in the science fields we think you’ll find it useful!

Science Buddies

The folks over at Science Buddies have a whole tab on their website dedicated to interesting careers in science. It’s broken down into fields (Earth and Physical Sciences, Life Science, Engineering, Math and Computer Science, Health) and then links off to some pretty detailed pages for lots of ideas and info on your future science career. Go check it out!

Science

Science magazine also has a big section of their site focusing on science careers. It’s very informative and has links to tons of cool stuff about science jobs & careers and STEM education but it’s a little harder to navigate. Never-the-less it’s a great resource and should definitely be on your radar when you’re looking for a new science gig!
