Science is always in demand, but it is probably better to be technically trained and specialized than just well rounded...unless you are a pediatrician or internist...
For example, if you learn biology...you can't do much...but combine it with an ability to program in SAS or with a knowledge of statistics, then you will be really "appreciated" monetarily...or if you are really good with biochemistry (which is very hard to do...well...and without wasting sacrificed organisms...)...the problem is that biology costs too much to do in the lab...and experiments mess up, causing more loss of money...whereas doing biostatistics, you can solve problems without wasting resources...and you can do wonders with computers in support of biostatistics...take it with a grain of salt

I'd say yes, but it goes along with a general trend where science and mathematics aren't just taught enough in schools these days, if I'd say there's a strong focus on verbal skills such as foregin languages and all. The new essay part on the SAT's has got the english teachers scrambling I'll bet. 20 or 30 years ago I'll bet it was just the opposite, no one's trying to be a renissance man or women these days, they just want what's best for the standardized tests.

Its over appreciated. Most science doesn't acknowledge the benefits of natural healing.
