I'm thinking about quitting my degree. Science in theory is not the same thing as science in reality, which is an enterprise that revolves around politics and money. The amount of misery my own work causes me is probably not worth getting to tell how cool I am (which is something I think about doing, but never end up actually doing because my own work never seems interesting or impressive after I've done it).

This entire post is one mistake after the next.

My brother is a professional scientist and really enjoys what he does. So it's possible. What kind of science are you majoring in?

My step brother is a bio major who graduated from Penn State. Took him about 10 years to find an enjoyable career. He started out doing lab tests on beagles :( he never bitched about politics though.

Psychology.

Perhaps he has the personality for it. I'm not sure that I do.

He got his undergrad in psychology, but his masters is in marine ecology, which is what he still does as a career. You do definitely need the right personality to do what he does though, since a lot of it involves multi-week stints on ships in the arctic.

Why both? The two don't sound like they have much overlap.

I forgot to bring my graphing calculator to my test on graphic with a calculator.

Like when you type 01134 or 5318008 and turn it upside down?
