Hi, Gary– I see two needs for teaching science/math in grade school – one is to prepare the next generation of scientists/mathematicians, but the other is to give students the grounding in science/math that they will need to handle other occupations (and life in general) well. For those computer jobs, for example, one will do much better if one understands at least basic math and how electrons move. If job prospects in the sciences are generally dismal, how will they be in a decade or two? Markets move in cycles, and we may be at the bottom of a dip rather than sliding down an incline. –Doug
