Paths of Science

                As we know science can be a very different according to who you are talking to. Evolution or not, anything can be a dispute, no one really agrees with the next person. I find this to be very interesting since in general, science is pretty straight forward. Besides that there are so many different areas of science, there is no difinitive path that one could take. 
               I think it's a good thing that science is so diverse though. It keeps both competition up, but also allows for more people to have jobs in the area of science, so I think one of the reasons why science is so diverse. It keeps multiple people interested and it also allows for a wide range of reasearch to happen in the science community. There is no possible way that people could be both interested in science and productive without the diversity of the subject. We wouldn't have been able to make the medical, environmental, and psychological advances that we have in the past decades
               Another reason for all these different paths is to make specialization more specific. I am sure that people who have jobs in the science are are appreciative of this as well because of the fact that they get paid much more for being able to specialize in an area. On the other hand while you make more money overtime, you have to go to school for much longer as well. This means much more money for colleges and another group of people happy for these many fields of science. 
              The main thing that I kind of mentioned earlier is the fact that people just like different things, anything for the environment to the human body, and all of it can be researched on, so it leads to a huge amount of career options and the diversity of the science cmmunity that we see today, no doubt one of the best places to find a job that you have an interest in.
               The bottom line is that human nature is really the thing that has made science so diverse, there is no other explanation besides the fact that people just started something new that they thought could help out the world, and eventually it caught on and it helped to make us what we are today. Maybe in the future you can even start a brand new area of science, and you can talk to us about how you changed the world.
