Can Selecting A Career In Science Help People & The Environment? 
    Hundreds of thousands of technical jobs are unfilled across our nation. In the next few years this number will reach into the millions.  This is a very important issue.  Please consider the following: with our current level of technological advancement comes an unique new level of responsibility.  Our natural resources are limited  and  being depleted.  Many technological advancements are yet to be made regarding human welfare and the environment.
    Medical conditions and starvation remind us of the human welfare side of technology and energy prices remind us of the need for alternative energy research. The knowledge to solve the problems exists, but the people to do the research and development are often not available. 
    Many of the things that we commonly learn in school can act as the foundation for such careers.  Reading enables us to study any subject; math gives us the founding methods behind the logic of technology; art and drafting provides the tools that allow us to pursue our goals with creativity; and social studies and history give us the direction to apply our efforts. Indeed all subjects open the doors for us, providing we add the most vital element — imagination!!
