When discussing about possible carriers, people rarely think of social science careers as an option. It all starts at home. Parents always talk to their children about they want them to become.
Whenever examination results are announce be it for primary education or secondary education, the candidates always look at the results and measure them against what they would want to become.
More often then not, students always say, "I want to be an engineer, a pilot, a doctor and rarely some say they want to be teachers!"
This is a very clear indication of how careers are graded. Even during career talks in school, am sorry to say this, experts are always invited to talk to the candidates about career choices.
My question for discussion today is, "How much marketable are social science careers?"
I think social science is still not marketable enough given competition from other scientific careers.
ReplyDeleteSocial scientists still need to prove that it is indeed marketable and can compete in the job market
