Born Hunter 17,974 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Full I-Robot style house slaves with in 50 years............ Another good find Malt. I read earlier about the govenments changes to scientific reasearch funding.They have decided what areas Britain leads the world in and one of them was robotics and nanotechnology. They are trying to fund what we are good at and basically not bother with stuff we aren't, bad move in mine and many others opinions. Another case of politicians making decisions on stuff they aren't qualified to, it should be in the hands of academics not bussinesmen. Over all funding has been cut but space reasearch/tech funding has been increased significantly as again we are world leaders in satalite technology. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's not that many coming through the science channels of further education at the minute and there'll be even less in the future now the funding of universities has been slashed..

Born Hunter 17,974 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) It does make you wonder but then if the demand is there I believe the graduates will be found. Many graduates, like myself, get their BSc or MSc and go into industry in various roles from actual scientific careers to any number of non scientific careers. Perhaps with a strong demand for post grads and researchers a higher average of graduates will go into the scientific & tech industry in R&D/production etc. I would imagine foriegn graduates that study here will take a number of the jobs as well of course. I guess what I'm trying to say is top end scientific research requires a lot of Phd level graduates, many of which don't go down the post grad route because industry doesn't generally want/need it, why do 3-4 years for your Phd when you could spend those years on a decent wage gaining real world experience in your choice of industry? With a large scientific research industry I imagine many more graduates will feel furthering themselves to the Phd level worth it and so there will be the scientists to fill the contracts. jmo like.
