<p>The only good reason to get a science degree is med, pharm, dental, PT, PA or other healthcare professional school. There is no good reason for a science PhD anymore and anyone who tries to work in science in the USA will be in for a sad reality jolt when they are forced to work for a temp agency for $15 per hour no benefits. Heck the HS grad driving the forklift is making tons more money than the guy in the lab with an MS.</p>
