Nowadays, not enough students choose science subjects in university in many countries. What are the reasons for this problem? What are the effects on society?
It is a serious problem that there is an inadequate number of
students
who tend to select science
as their major subject in universities in many countries. In my view, students
may think that studying science
has not a good career path. Also
, this
issue may deeply affect the international state of a country
.
The main reason why people do not think to study science
is that they may see science
as something unpractical, and potentially, they are hard to find a job when they graduate. Students
are generally afraid that there is no employment opportunity after they graduate from university. Unlike engineering and business management, in which fields employers provide plenty of vocational positions for graduated students
because there are lots of companies activating in these fields and universities may provide some practical training courses and internships. Students
studying science
have a relatively narrow way to walk, and may just be scientists. Moreover
, although
a successful scientist can get a massive bonus from some prizes, it is too hard to accomplish and is more likely to fail. Therefore
, Students
will avoid taking those risks and choose other subjects that are relatively stable and easy to find a job.
This
trend will eventually decrease the state of a country
. Developing science
can provide a strong and firm foundation for a country
to establish a healthy and prosperous community. If there are not enough scientists, the whole scientific ability will decrease. Not only will the government pay extra money to other foreign countries for buying the required technology such
as military equipment, but the public also
needs to spend more time and pay more effort to maintain the international standard production rate of a country
. It is extremely dangerous that a nation easily suffers from a financial crisis and, finally
, it influences the living standard of its citizens and causes damage to its financial systems.
In summary, while
science
is regarded as a "useless" subject because of its narrow career path and low success rate, it is vital that the economic systems would be affected if a country
develop without scientists.Submitted by sam132457 on
