Scientists and technology experts seem to be more valued by modern society than musicians and artists. To what extent do you agree?

According to some people, professionals working in the field of

science

and

technology

enjoy more respect than artists or musicians. I agree with

this

view and in my

opinion

Accept comma addition

opinion, this

this

trend will continue unless the career prospects of artists improve. Unlike

science

and

technology

, the

art

sector does not offer many employment opportunities. Actually, there are only a handful of artists who make a decent living from their profession. Most painters, singers and dancers are struggling to make both ends meet because they do not have enough platforms to showcase their talent.

Art

continues to be an entertainment form that people can enjoy in their leisure time and artists remain

strugglers

an energetic attempt to achieve something

struggles

for life with no steady source of income. Despite the fact that they invested countless years for polishing their skill, many of them need another source of income to live comfortably.

By contrast

,

science

and

technology

offer plenty of opportunities. New inventions emerge almost every day and students who pursue a course in

science

and

technology

have guaranteed job opportunities. Obviously, people working in these fields enjoy more respect. While it is true that it requires the same amount of hard work and dedication for a scientist and an artist to achieve recognition in their respective fields, an artist earns considerably lower than a scientist. Because of

this

reason, most parents discourage their children from pursuing

art

at university. Actually, in almost all schools,

art

is considered as an extracurricular activity and only about one or two hours are allocated for teaching

this

subject in a week. Needless to say, children grow up thinking that there is no future in

arts

Suggestion

the arts

. In conclusion, it is true that scientists and engineers enjoy more respect than an artist.

This

is mainly due to

the low

lower

earning potential of artists. While there are a few extremely successful singers or artists who earn exceptionally well, the vast majority of

art

professionals are struggling to get by. As long as

this

situation prevails the

social standing of artists will not improve.
