Frankly, for all the hard work and frustration you have to deal with in being a scientist, as many of your experiments don't work, the publish or perish standards of success in science, and the low salaries for years and years of hard work, no wonder people don't strive to be scientists.
...
Speak for yourself. Scientists in private industry get paid well. I should know.

Scientists in private industry get paid well? Compared to who? Lawyers? MBAs? Doctors? Accountants? Marketing Managers? Bankers?
Scientist & engineers are the bottom of the barrel in the professional world.
Yes, they may get paid well as compared to cashiers, but that's about it.
The reason is simple - they are part of the productive end of any business, not part of the sales or administration. They are considered to be an 'expense' - not a money maker like salesman.
So in the name of holding down expenses, salaries for scientists and engineers are held down - they are also the first to get layed off.
U.S. teens have weak practical math skills
Test finds Americans score as well as top foreign kids but lag in real-world applications
By Greg Toppo, USA TODAY
U.S. high school students match their peers in other nations when it comes to math skills. But ask them to apply those skills to real-world situations and things begin to look a bit bleak, a new study suggests.
The nation's 15-year-olds make a poor showing on a newly released international test of practical math applications, ranking 24th out of 29 industrialized nations, behind South Korea, Japan and most of Europe. U.S. students' scores were comparable to those in Poland, Hungary and Spain.
Results of the test, known as the Program for International Student Assessment, were released Monday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group of industrialized nations. It's administered every three years, this time in 29 OECD nations and 10 others. This is the first time the test has included practical math applications.
U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige called the results "a blinking warning light" that shows the need to reform U.S. high schools. Most of the students tested were 10th-graders.

Ah, I see the source of your idiocy - your poor education.Especially when our academic programs emphasise creationism,deny global warming and refuse to fund stem cell research
I have over 30 years in R&D and testing of emerging technologies.
You?
Why not?
Their thinking in Washington D.C. or should say, the "Obama Regime", is already through their redistribution of wealth agenda, are lowering the living standards of millions of hard working Americans, why not take the rest of what's left of the country down the toilet too?
What's wrong with these idiots running our lives today? What's more important why are we tolerating this bullshit for so long? The guy, (Obama), in my opinion, is doing more damage to this country than any of our so called enemies have been able to do for decades! No wonder the LOVE this guy.
Personally I think after another two years of this Obama regime, Mediocrity will be a higher standard than where we'll be in ranking throughout the world. I ask again, WHO is he working for, US or THEM? I really hope I am wrong, for all our sakes.
Another problem in this country, people who believe that whatever they want to believe is true, regardless of any facts. That they think making an argument is spouting bullshit without backing anything up with facts, if they even know what the difference between facts and opinion are
WTF's with that What a profound statement of nonsense. Did you look before you type at all? Blanket statements of total bullshit.Another problem in this country, people who believe that whatever they want to believe is true, regardless of any facts.
ah, i see the source of your idiocy - your poor education.the obama administrations top science and technology official, who has argued for the economic de-development of america, warned science students last friday that the united states cannot expect to be number one forever.

His crowning achievement prior to becoming President is Associate Professor. Shit, I'd accomplished more than that by age 25!!!!

Yada Yada Yada, More Merd from Dr' Gregg, another 'genius' know-it-all who knows all the answers, all the facts, and all the inside chatter from the depths of Washington politics and cannot see the forest for the trees.

Okay genius, wallow in your delusions, and go apply for a job with Obama's team, if your not already employed by them in some manner. Don't bug me with the 'THEY' bullshit, who are THEY? Am I one of the 'THEY', then say so directly.
God, I love coming in here!
Okay Doc, we're all dumb, and your the only smart one in USMB, sorry! Gotta go, I have baskets to weave and meds to take, "coming Nurse Ratchet"!
Are we really number 1 in S&T?
