Read the last essay in Otto Weininger's *Über die letzten Dinge*, entitled *Wissenschaft und Kultur*. You will get a nice analysis of the notion of science (and scientists themselves) there. He also briefly comments on the economic conception of science, i.e. the people who say you should get a STEM degree not because pure natural science interests you, but because it usually pays well. He notes that the Americans and Jews are particularly fond of this type of thinking.
