We don't put nearly enough emphasis on science in this country.

I do agree that we need more emphasis on practical and vocational skills, but at the same time we need to do more to get kids interested in science.

You're right I suppose but despite getting a degree in Chemistry 8 years ago my son was unable to gain employment in the science field unless he wanted to teach. We were told the country was crying out for scientists. I emailed a number of politicians at the time and none of them had any useful suggestions as to the areas of science to seek jobs in.

The lad's in the pensions business now. A bit of a waste of skills and knowledge.
