I work at a university. Math and science majors are a minority here. And have been for a long time. All natural sciences are. So I don't think they are they are the wave of the future. They are being replaced by computer science and computer engineering. New technology in the US and around the world are the wave and will be for a long time. Kids have a toy in front of them (the computer and variations of it) and want future jobs to play with it. Humanities are a minority too. Kids aren't stupid. They want jobs when they walk out the door.
