Where do you think they get the venom for the research?
Normally a herpatologist is the person that actually gets the venom from the snake.
Do we need more snake charmers? Probably not.
Do we need more movie directors? I sure would like to see some conservative patriotic ones in the mix, so maybe we do.
Do we need more scientists, engineers, etc. Most assuredly, but not EVERYONE is gifted in that respect.
As for calling them geeks, nerds, etc, I WAS one of those that got called those names. Didn't matter to me.
I was raised to believe in myself.
If you have the talent and brains, it shouldn't put you off just because someone else doesn't realize what you're worth.
i agree... this is where conservatives can truly make an impact on the culture... movie directors, journalists, writers, authors, higher education... i'd prefer my boys choose careers from this list than become pastors...
