My friend made anonymous polls with advanced school students a fewer times who they would like to become. He was fascinated that about 40% wanted to become scientists: physicists, biologists, chemists.
Did you believe what I wrote?
In the above information it is only actual that my colleague actually made specified anonymous surveys respective times. He did, but zero, zero exactly, students reported wanting to become a scientist. They wanted to become computer scientists, actors, influencers, economists, engineers, officers, even teachers, but nobody thought of becoming a scientist.
Of course, my College's statistical studies did not include besides many students, nor did it make them in the best Staszic advanced schools, but besides not in any completely inferior ones. However, I fishy that if any good sociologists did research, they would have a akin result.
Is the reluctance to become a scientist based on the fact that this social layer earns an embarrassingly little?
IMHO, no. Rather, this aversion comes from deficiency of passion for any object: physics, chemistry, biology, or geology. The school, unfortunately, kills interest, not develops it.
It's worth remembering.
