RE: Ever wondered what pursuing a career in science is like? The perks and disadvantages of being a natural science researcher.
Thank you for sharing this. I really feel you especially now while I am having some of my busiest days ever working 14 hours per day and nearly sleeping in the office :P.
It's not as rosy as some sci-fi movies makes it look to put it that way :P But at the end, I am both happy and proud about what I do, and contributing to the progress I want to see in the world. Which is enough to get me up in the mornings at least. :)
@fredrikaa Exactly! When you have a sense of purpose and can see the tangible results of your efforts, all the hard work involved becomes less of a burden.
However, even though the everyday work is really a lot more tedious and grinding than Hollywood films make it up to be, it also has its moments of indulgence and glamour, right? ;-)
Good to see you around!
