STEM education does not include many other disciplines in a college. STEM education assumes that tech or hi-tech is grounded in "hard" sciences. This is a misconception. There are jobs and careers, and quite a few, which aid, or support, or replace, certain skills typically assigned to STEM disciplines. Too often, academics do not know what the job market really is. For example, there is a growing job market in the environmental field, but STEM does not focus on that field. Is there a way to get employers, recruiting agencies, and the colleges to meet and discuss the situation. There are many jobs in the tech world which do not require a degree in medicine, engineering, etc, but which do require the capability to assemble information and report it.....and to meet with communities......or the public, tasks which STEM-types typically avoid or do not like to do. I think part of the problem is that academia continues to opine that they do not "train" people for jobs. Well if not, who will?
