How do you science majors get a job after graduating? From researching job ads, they're always asking for a high degree (masters or Ph) and several years of experience. I know you can do interning and volunteer stuff but then most jobs will require paid experiences. It's one of the tough job market majors. People just end up being teachers.
People are different. I for example, study science because I'm going into the medical field. I don't enjoy studying science, I don't enjoy going to school, but I must do what I have to do to obtain my goal(s) and ambitions. Besides when my kids start higher education, I can lend them a hand.
Keep in mind, just because we have a science degree; doesn't necessary means we will all be in a career that requires research. The degree is just what it is: a piece of paper. What matters is the time and effort was dedicated to obtain the paper, and that is what any kind of employer(s) will be looking for: dedication and effort.
