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.

When he's out on a ship his workdays take up pretty much every moment he's awake and when he's on land he does spend a lot of time doing things like writing proposals. I don't think the spends much time competing with other people for work though. He's built up a big network of connections over the years and is enough of an expert in his field that people seek him out instead of the other way around.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.
