[quote=Anonymous]Because OP most people are not going to be making their living doing PhD Chemistry --- you have to be very academically talented and you get to compete with the best from all over the World for the good jobs. For the average Joe there are rapidly diminishing marginal returns to science education once they are good enough to get into a middling decent college. And even there, most just won't get the science. So, the kids might as well have a good time doing sports and learning about competing and teamwork --- skills they will actually use in their middle-management and sales jobs that are in their future.[/quote]
