141. U.S. culture glorifies the investment banker making 800K a year on Wall St. much more than

the physicist or biochemist making 90K but actually solving the problems of science. Ditto the corporate lawyer or surgeon making 300K plus.

Thus the American kids who are smart will have more of a tendency to go into those areas than science.

It's primarily a problem of smart American kids not applying to the graduate programs (science) as much as talented foreigners.
