These careers are just another form of spreading awareness/nagging the hell out of people, ones which quite often are low paying so they can’t repay the massive college loans they took out and now want wiped out
‘Greta effect’ boosting demand for climate change careers, RSC claims
Greta Thunberg may not be a scientist herself, but her passionate calls for world leaders to “listen to the science” on climate change may be rubbing off on young people keen to pursue careers in the subject, the Royal Society for Chemistry (RSC) has claimed.
In a YouGov poll commissioned by the RSC, almost a quarter – 23 per cent – of people aged 15 to 18 said they were likely to consider pursuing a career related to combatting climate change, while 26 per cent said scientists had the biggest role to play in addressing the problem.
The survey, which took in responses from more than 1,000 young people, saw 58 per cent rate climate change as the biggest problem facing the world, while 77 per cent of respondents said Thunberg had influenced their thinking.
In addition, 78 per cent of respondents said they believed chemistry had a key role to play in tackling declining natural resources, 53 per cent said the subject was important for combatting hunger, and 88 per cent said chemistry could help improve health and tackle disease, the poll results released late last week show.
Despite saying how important science is, how many of them will go into a STEM discipline, as opposed to the silly crap they tend to major in lately? Again, let’s make all these kids live the life they want for Everyone Else, and see how much they want to Do Something about this scam.
