It goes without saying that science is not one of the most chosen careers by

people, but how can we encourage them to enter this field? Advertising and
government grants could play a significant role.
Media can be very useful in getting people interested in the field of science,
just by promoting the constant breakthroughs scientists are making all around the
world, as well as allowing coverage of most of the scientific TV programs.
However, TV nowadays focuses mostly on other topics, such as sports, reality
shows and gossip, not giving much weight to the world of science.
Another option we have that might trigger people’s interest in science is
government grants. Governments can facilitate students’ access to scientific
universities by giving them money packages, making them consider studying
science as an important field to work on, which could lead to a bright future.
Although this may be a good action, it could also prove to be ineffective. The
reason is that people only study what they like and if they are not caught by the
world of science, they will not apply for a science course no matter how many
incentives they receive.
Overall, I strongly believe that advertising is the most effective way to
encourage people to study science. Although money apparently seems a good
reason for it, it is not vital actually. By advertising, people see that science and
scientific research are really taken into account by the world of communication,
and this makes them recognise that these subjects are worth studying.
