I feel that our society has begun to favor intelligence and the self over nobility, talent, sacrifice, honesty and persistence. There seems to be a cultural obsession with scientists among our youth. Pop-scientists, like Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson especially, despite our youth lacking mathematical ability. Sacrifice and honor have been reduced to being seen as naivety and stupidity in the eyes of the masses, in favor of lust, instant gratification, and carnal desire.
society is constantly shifting bro, whatever arbitrary values (e.g. honor, nobility, sacrifice) you want society to have isn't going to change anything about it.
Carnal desire will always be with us, that's how we've essentially taken over the whole planet, lots of fucking, and the ability to manipulate objects at will.
wait is being good at math valued?

Neil degrasse either says obvious shit worded in a specific way to sound smart, or virtue signalling bullshit.

You're lightly grazing the issue.
The capacity for social justice to subvert the west is failing. People are openly rejecting the relativist narrative in favor of objectivity, and the holy grail of objectivity is the scientific method.
So the agents of societal collapse are going to begin warping science in order to attack on this new front. You will see the rise of 'education', 'scientific truth' and the vilification of 'ignorant' dissenters.
It's destined to fail ofcourse; objectivity is nothing without scrutiny, but it's amusing to see where this will go and what form the inevitable backlash takes.

Of course! Jobs like actuaries, statisticians, data scientists and mathematicians are highly rated jobs that are math focused.
Here's the list I'm referring to:

I personally plan on becoming an Actuary.
