How do you convice parents a math/science education is worth more than what is currently offered?

The point is not to advise people or parents to go into math/science jobs, it's to use math, science, and logic to go about making +EV decisions in life.

So my question to you is how do you get people to change their thinking about what is important?

You are not asking me but I'll give my answer-

Teach them mathmatics and logic and they'll understand. Wanting to be a pro football player if probable enough is logical, NFL players make a lot of money, and being a good athlete can provide for a scholorship to a good school.

Math isn't all about using the quadradic formula, it's about making +EV decisions in life, whether it be relationships, occupation, or at the poker table
