Oh yeah jobs...
And you can't educate scientist and young mathematicians if they do see jobs at the end of the tunnel.


This week, Bush said, "We can't be the leading country in the world in science and technology unless we educate scientists and young mathematicians."

A panel of top scientists and business leaders has warned "the scientific and technical building blocks of our economic leadership are eroding at a time when many other nations are gaining strength." "In Maine, there aren't many jobs that scream out 'math and science,'" said Cook, who lives in Etna, in the central part of the state. Yes, both topics are important, but "most parents are saying you're better off going to school for something there's a big need for."
