That actually sounds pretty cool. My kind of science involves a lot of 17-hour workdays where you work for opportunities for more work, you move around constantly following a decreasing number of reliable career opportunities, and you spend all your time competing with other people for your primary source of income.
I'm sure his career involves that too, but he's probably more resilient than I am in the face of it, and he's probably doing work that is in some way meaningful or useful, unlike mine.
