I am a father, my son wants to pursue science due to his interest but without hardwork studies?

Question

Can someone study science without hard work ????????? Can he be given a chance ???

Answer 1

Anyone can try anything. Perhaps your son is interested in science because it comes easy to him. If he wishes to pursue a degree in the field it will require he take subjects that are of less interest and that might knock him out of the running. However, if he gets into the right coursework he might get so excited about the whole thing that putting in the time for the hard work studies will be worth it to him. He ought to be given the chance to succeed or fail on his own.

Answer 2

If your son becomes a student at any university, there is rarely anything that would prevent him from taking any introductory course he desires.

There is also nothing to prevent him from failing any course he takes.

Science courses tend to be difficult for many students. These courses require a lot of memorization, and in many cases, they require good math skills. You cannot learn chemistry, for instance, if you do not know algebra pretty well. You can't really learn biology beyond the basic level if you do not know chemistry.

So, if your son wants to have a career in science he will need to work hard and have quite a good level of academic skill.

In science there is another problem. Many biology and chemistry majors are trying to prepare for med school or dental school or pharmacy school. In those areas, the competition is very tough, so the kids in the science classes are extremely competitive. Well,they have to be, don't they? You couldn't have a doctor who was anything less than excellent in science, could you? That makes it tough on other kids who just have a little interest in science but arent competitive. Those kids may take a different level of science, the non-major courses. But you cannot be a science major by taking the non-major courses. You have to take the real tough courses.

To have a career in science, sooner or later you have to take hard courses. There's no getting out of it.

Answer 3

Is your son in college? High school?

Sure, give him a chance. Don't discourage any interests!
If your son wants a career in science, he will find out quickly enough that he needs to study, and all without your having to tell him. The situation will make him realize he needs to work hard or he won't get anywhere.

So keep out of it, Dad. Let natural consequences (don't study enough, fail test, can't continue on in science) teach your son. No more talk!! Let him learn on his own. Just tell him he gets one year to prove he can do it, then he majors in what you tell him to major in. And then let your son discover that if he wants it enough, he is going to have to study.

Answer 4

Absolutely not! Going into any science field is hard work. When going into any science (bio, chem, phy, etc) you are also required to take advanced math classes. And the fields themselves are difficult to get a job de to its competitiveness.

Answer 5

depends on how smart he is...

I've known guys that had to work like dogs just to slip by in an engineering program and I've know guys that were complete stoners that rarely showed up to class and got all A in nuclear engineering.

You have a better idea of your son than anyone else. I mean it is possible but only if they are one of those super bright guys. Unlikely but possible.
