Is there any value in studying academic subjects that are not ‘useful’ in terms of generating wealth for the country? Many a person holds the idea that uncommercial fields of study are expensive arena to play in, and this is not worth to spend resources. While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, I personally, argue that dedication of financial resources on almost every scientific topic is fruitful, not necessarily immediately, but for sure definitely. This essay elaborates on this contentious subject expressing my viewpoints along with some relevant examples. I believe that the first and perhaps the most significant point about the pivotal role of non-commercial subjects is that the commercial concept we are currently benefiting from were considered pure science just a few decades ago. Bear in mind that had our ancestors not worked on such subjects, we would not have had devices people from all walks are enjoying these days ranging from white goods to sophisticated telecommunications solutions. Space explorations are cases in point which 50 years ago many blamed the expenditure on research and development in this area, but at present time we are using the products and solutions scientists used to employ solely for cosmonauts a few decades ago. On the other hand, if we look at these fields with a broader view we realize that not only is spending time and budget on such subjects a waste of resources, but it also creates jobs for the ones interested in research and development activities. Fortunately, in this day and age a lot of large companies have realized the importance of having R&D unit in their businesses, hence the dedication of specific budget. The more we spend on non-commercial subjects, the more benefit we can expect. Only when we spend on pure science can we expect to see new horizons in science and more solutions to our problems. By way of conclusion, I maintain that we should change our viewpoint regarding the scientific research and development. Interested in more advantages, the tycoons running major companies are keen to hunt top researchers across the globe to extend their border of sales.
