    > This causes the lab to unknowingly produce a highly contagious bioweapon which causes infertility.

    I don't think this would be a bad thing :) Some people will always be immune. And it would be a humane way for gradual population reduction. It would create some temporary problems with elderly care (like what China is facing now) but will make long term human prosperity much more likely. We just can't keep growing against limited resources.

    The Dan Brown book Inferno had a similar premise and I was disappointed they changed the ending in the movie so that it didn't happen.

    "Combating" here likely means doing evil things in order to combat other evil things. For example, the "Inferno" movie's plot was to release a virus to downsize the population in order to combat global warming.

    Well, you could either go the route of a Nobel laureate in literature that you've never heard of, or for a guy with commercial success.

    From Wikipedia: His books have been translated into 57 languages and, as of 2012, have sold over 200 million copies. Three of them, Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, and Inferno, have been adapted into films.

    It all depends on what your goals are. No-one is forced to take any of the offered classes.
