| A very small percentage of american students are currently majoring in math or science, in developing countries however these fields are very popular amongst those who make it to universities, in the future american mathematicians, engineers and scientists will be greatly outnumbered if this trend continues, this is not a bad thing in general but for the US it can't be good, it makes me think about dropping philosophy and going into engineering or biology, there are many more promising careers in these fields, but there are other things to worry about besides the size of one's paycheck, like enjoying and being proud of every day's work, but that is proly more difficult than it seems once one leaves academia
