Everyone knows that the world has long suffered from widespread

shortages in its science and engineering workforce, and that if continued

these shortages will cause it to fall behind its major economic competitors.
Everyone knows that these workforce shortages are due mainly to the
myriad weaknesses of world education in science and mathematics, which
international comparisons of student performance rank as average at best.
Science and engineering occupations are at the leading edge of economic
competitiveness in an increasingly globalized world, and science and
engineering workforces of sufficient size and quality are essential for any
21st century economy to prosper. These professional workforces also are
crucial for addressing challenges such as international security, global
climate change, and domestic and global health. While they therefore are
of great importance, college graduates employed in science and
engineering occupations actually comprise only a small fraction of the
workforce. Law, medicine, business and IT are tops again in the latest
Graduate Employment Survey Results. Fresh lawyers earn an average
gross monthly salary of 5k+, while fresh doctors and dentists make 4k+. IT,
business graduates and almost all the rest get 3k+.
Here there are some reasons why science graduates have to get higher
salary than social science graduates.First of all the definition of science
graduates is the person to be granted an academic degree or diploma in
any field of science.They have been familiar with research system enables
students to study not only their area of specialty, but also to learn cuttingedge research from other fields of study and research that cuts across
fields. In order to respond to the various complex and diverse modern
issues of science and technology, such as environmental energy issues,
we have prepared a flexible education and research system that is not
bound by previous research areas.For social science graduates, they
encompass sociology, politics, economics, law, education, business
studies, town planning and many others. They also examine and explain
human functioning on a variety of interlocking levels, ranging from neural
foundations to individual behaviour, group processes and the functioning of
entire societies.

Science students have better and broad understanding of the world,

may allow to influence and develop accepted scientific knowledge, and will
give the skills needed to approach most matters in a reasoned and
analytical manner.While Graduates in social science subjects offer a wide
range of skills that are enormously valuable to employers across the public,
private and third sectors. These include the ability to understand complex
issues holistically, on individual and cultural and societal levels; research,
analyse and evaluate data critically; question assumptions; understand
people, institutions and their relationships; understand processes of change
make reasoned arguments communicate concisely and clearly and solve
problems.So for research purpose science students have more benefit
towards the company thus they have to get higher slary.

Studies have shown that approximately a third of science graduates

pursue a professional science or science-related career, another third use
their science degree as a launch pad to gain employment in areas where
a generic skills base is highly valued. A final third move into science
research careers, pursuing a career in either academia or a research
organisation. The skills students gain when studying the bachelor of any
science, such as reason, logic, observation, analysis, resourcefulness,
creativity, imagination and experimentation, form the essence of a great
science education and are highly valued and sought after by employers.
Graduates find employment both locally and internationally in business,
industry and government, including scientific research. They can enhance
their career opportunities with further study through an honours or masters
degree, which will give them a competitive edge as they enter the job
market and allow them to move into higher management positions in their
chosen profession.They can also do scientific colaborations with other
companies.Scientific collaborations are a principal method by which young
scientists can cultivate their professional networks and develop research
opportunities,for a better production and also ransom money. A successful
scientific collaboration almost invariably results in the opportunity to do
more work together later. Traveling (either literally or intellectually) from
one lab to another exposes them to the members of companies
collaborators' labs and other people in their host institutions.
