Reality bites, doesn't it?

 

‎"Real scientists never enter a lab. We work our whole lives to become, if we're lucky, managers of sorts. We oversee, we organize, and we teach. We attend meetings and send e-mails. We think, we write, we debate, we format, and we complain. The day-to-day job of a scientist -- a real one -- isn't too different from that of, say, an insurance claims adjuster. 

And the actual science? Well, that's why we have graduate students."

- Adam Ruben, Ph.D, Science mag.

Getting a good offer only means you are a big fish in a small pond.

So many other people out there are as good or even better than you.
