Opportunities abound more in Sciences?

A look at our society shows that most successful innovations and things that led to us having a better society came from the science sectors. The phone we use to communicate, the cars we drive, architectural designs, electricity and so many other things that makes life easy for us as humans.
The science sector played a very important role in bringing us this far, kudos to the individuals who took their time to make productive research that led to this.

Now I am beginning to think that there are more opportunities for people who majored in Sciences than their non science counterparts. Even the availability of jobs prooves this. What do you think?

Most people would agree that science is a noble pursuit. Science is valued by society because the application of scientific knowledge helps to satisfy many basic human needs and improve living standards.
Science is a worthy career, and I encourage you to pursue it.

Science is said to be everything by some people. I am a science student, I love it so much because it brings innovation to the world thereby making living more conducive.

Talking about opportunities, science has it in abundance.
Let us start with even international scholarships. If you look closely at it, you will see that sciences has alot of it than other areas like the arts and commercials.

Science is very vast in its study and application and that is why its opportunities one may say have no bound.

You are 100% right, even in our educational circle most of the field of studies that are beginning to get outdated are non-science related, while the science related degree are advancing at a tremendous pace. Take for instance the information technology (I.T) world has receive an exponential growth in the last decade, creating several high paying employment opportunities in various specialization.

I agree with you. Which ever way u look at it, there are more opportunities in sciences that any other field. Studying an engineering course opens you to alot of opportunities in industries like the oil and gas sector. Studying medicine guarantees you easy employment when you are done schooling. Computer science, computer engineering, information technology to me is the science course with the most opportunities. This is because when you look around you, every thing is becoming digitalised, life is becoming less stressful and computer scientists are responsible for this. But then I will never advise someone to study a course solely because of financial gains because you will never unleash all your potentials if you do so.

Sure, I totally agree with you that scientific innovations have actually makes the entire world a much better place to live in, evident in the many aspects you mentioned in your write up.
Consequently, the science major can be said and quite rightly too to offer doors of opportunities people.
The art and social science have also, equally contributed in making this life easier to live. Think about the entertainment industry that is there to entertain you. The lawyers that are there to defend you. The economics experts that are there to manage our economy etc.
So, opportunities are abound in both sides.

This is very true, the UN, EU and USA are trying to encourage young students to go for Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine (STEM) courses because most young people prefer Arts courses. Science is the future and a lot of money can be made from it. The advent of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and other digital currencies that is the rave of the moment was as a result of Technology. The Covid-19 vaccine that was formulated and tested came about as result of Science and Medicine. There are indeed lots of opportunities in Science.

Science and technology is booming in Asia, and acting as a
magnet for Asian scientists wishing to return home after
training in the West—especially to China—attracted to full-
or part-time positions in both academia and industry.
Promoting the eastward migration is a strong government
push—particularly in China, Singapore, Korea, and Japan—to
become global players in science and technology, and
massive investment from the pharmaceutical industry. The
result is a heady mix of new R&D opportunities.

Science have helped to move the world forward, most of the inventions and wonderful products that we have today are products of science and technology. And whenever there's a major crisis in the world, we always look up to science to assist in solving them.

But in terms of opportunities, I don't think there are more opportunity in the field of science than in art courses. In fact in every higher institution, science classes are usually the ones with the lowest number of students, that's to show that more people study other courses that are not science and they still contribute their quota towards the improvement of the society.

Talking about opportunities in the arts and social sciences, those opportunities are rarely enough to cover a high percentage of the world's population unlike those of the sciences.
If you check out the different skills people learn to complement their jobs or hold on to if there are no jobs, those skills are in the science sector. This now means that the science sector is impacting more lives than the art sector.
If you want to talk about the entertainment industry for instance, we have got a whole lot of people who are into it, but it is obvious that only few succeed. This translates to limited opportunities in the sciences.

You can say this again there are time that I will regret why I did not study science in my secondary school because looking around you should a lot of science working opportunities compare two hearts and commercial it can never be compared,
Even in the god of study in in higher institution there are more professional courses in science classes compared to the Earth and commercial.
I don't blame anyone but I put the blame on myself because I had the opportunity to choose but I run away from science class because of mathematics.

Can you think of a world without scientists? Usually professionals who work in science careers take care of the things we, as a society, benefit from on a daily basis—prevent and cure infectious diseases, produce technology gadgets, and manage climate change.

Inorder to prepare yourself for a career in the sciences, you are expected to study either life or physical science courses. Life sciences typically involve learning about living things and cover key subjects such as chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, zoology, and biology. Physics, chemistry, astronomy, and geology are all physical science courses, which are concerned with the study of non-living organisms.

Science is a very important discipline for one to major in due to the numerous inventions that the discipline had brought into our society, virtually every technological innovations and inventions were made possible by scientist. But this doesn't mean that other disciplines are not that important, they are also very important as scientists cannot do everything in the society, there are some aspect of society that scientists are not aware of, it needs the professional touch of another person in a different discipline to solve it.
