Of Glassdoor's top 50 Best Jobs in the U.S. for 2022, which were released on Wednesday, the top 12 paid a median base salary over $100,000. Those top 12 jobs were primarily in tech and coding industries, with some outliers. When Glassdoor released its Best Places to Work list for 2022, they listed many tech companies at the top because of "flexible work environments, consistent support throughout the pandemic, and a focus on better pay, benefits, and work-life balance." Enterprise Architect was listed as the best job in the U.S. because it strikes the best balance between salary, job openings, and job satisfaction based on Glassdoor ratings. The job search site also noted key skills needed to land those tech jobs that landed in the top 50 including Machine Learning, Distributed Computing, Times Series Analysis, Statistical Modeling, and Usability Testing.

As we enter 2018 it's become clear that the jobs landscape in the United States is changing. How people are thinking about their careers and how they define success is changing. The rise of technology across every industry has created a flurry of new jobs and associated skills (and these aren't necessarily all tech roles). While we all may take a different approach to reach our own definition of success, we've compiled a list of the most promising jobs and in-demand skills, plus a few stand-out trends, to help you get there. You don't need to be technical to be successful.

Jobs requiring STEM skills (science, technology, engineering and math) are among the best in the U.S. Here's why. Would-be technology workers learn coding and programming skills at Galvanize, one of a number of new boot camps that help teach skills suited to the tech booming tech economy that has a particular need for data science experts. SAN FRANCISCO -- The nation's best jobs boast salaries that average $100,000 and up, offer generous company benefits, and promise to have recruiting suitors fighting for your hand. But they are highly technical roles carrying job descriptions like DevOps engineer and analytics manager that demand an alphabet soup of computer skills as well as incessant on-the-job learning. So do you have to be a math genius with a spare PhD in physics to get one of these great gigs?

With student loans reaching an all-time high, it's no surprise that many are now questioning whether their education is worth the expense. The average 2015 college graduate completed their education with 35,051 in student loan debt, according to a study by Edvisor, and a survey by Salary.com While not all degrees are created equal, and you can always find a career in a field you didn't major in, certain degrees are a better bet for students looking for the highest return on their education investment. In fact, a 2015 report by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce estimated that the difference in lifetime wages between the highest- and lowest-paying college majors is about 3.4 million. While some of the highest-paying tech employers have expressed an interest in hiring non-STEM graduates, science, technology, engineering, and math degrees still dominate the top 10 and much of the remaining top 50. But earning a STEM degree, which accounts for 20% of all college degrees, doesn't necessarily guarantee a high salary.
