(3,296 posts)- they teach or go on to get their PhD. A bachelor's in biology by itself is not
an income generator. Also, doesn't the state have a compelling interest in
seeing young people go into fields that aren't necessarily big income
generators? The statement you make "If one majored in Biology and became a scientist one should have no problem"
tells me that you have not thought this out sufficiently. And BTW, many scientists don't make that much
$ - it depends on who is funding your research. You sure as shit don't make much as a climate scientist which
we need more of. You can however leverage your medical degree by flogging unproven remedies and bogus
nutraceuticals. Lots of people make lots of money in occupations that add nothing to societies well being and
in fact, many of "those" occupations have a negative effect.
