When I was a kid I used to have this dream of being a scientist because of cartoon show that I really liked. Then when I was in high school, that dream changed to becoming a physician. That changed in college. I think I have the brains for being a physicians, but I don't think I have the emotions for it. Now I'm still trying to be a scientist, but it's hard.
In corporate, you have to climb up the corporate ladder. In science, you have to climb up the newsflash academic ladder. It's unlikely you you'll do well as a scientist if you don't have multiple degrees. Then you have to deal with the government and problematic logistics of of this country in order to conduct research.
I feel like I'm stuck and I'm tired of trying even though I still do because what else is there to do? I guess I'm just looking for people to relate with? Maybe share some empathy?
