Oh man you think people with science degrees are getting jobs all over the place. NO WAY! This doesn't match anything I have seen of reality. Fine get a PhD in chemistry, the competition for the few available research positions afterward is brutal. Very very smart people engaged in dog eat dog competition. Get a graduate degree in physics, maybe if you are lucky the federal government will hire you. Yes, I know graduates in the hard physical sciences and it hasn't been a rosy field for DECADES.
So you know why not just get an MBA or an accounting degree instead, you won't work near as hard for the degree, and you might actually end up marketable.
There may be some positions in life sciences. And engineering is probably still a decent field.
+ 1 In some abstract idealistic universe we need more scientists because scientists invent all these wonderful things for us. In the same abstract idealistic universe we also need more musicians, artists and poets because they give voice to our souls :P. In the actual economic reality of job markets ...Quote:
Statements about engineer and scientist shortages have always left me jumping up and down, yelling "no, no. no!!!".
