I don't understand how that addresses the quote?


If absolute majority of students passing through the academia are going into private employment and not doing science, academia should not pretend that their primary purpose is making scientists.


Now I see, thanks.

By 'more to life' I don't mean being a scientist; I mean there is far more than career - personal life, community member, family member (including parent), living in the world. For many people, career is the least important and rewawrding (though necessary).
