Young people should keep their ideals, being scientific no longer has to be confined to academia.
You can do science yourself!
Unfortunately many people lack confidence and they think they need a title or a big company to validate you as a scientist and a thinker.
I think more and more it is possible to start out with a group of like minded friends and start your own investigations. Kids in highschool are coming up with remarkable solutions, that is actually real scientific progress and discovery, the whole "business" of science publications is doing more harm than good...
There seems to be a need in most areas for more oversight and review of the processes that we now respect.
