Every time you make a post about your profession, it ends up turning into a Drama Queen rant about the lack of respect/compensation you will receive for all of the schooling and hard work involved. Did you, per chance, not realize this before entering your profession?

You know, I didn't start talking about money. Maybe I'd talk less about it, if you stopped looking into my wallet so intently.

I do not quite understand the dichotomy of wanting to be a hero and help the sick but also requiring exorbitant compensation for doing so.

I like your fluid definition of exorbitant. I also think that if you don't understand that dichotomy, it's clear that you haven't accomplished a professional career.

As for scientists being underpaid, **** I could have told you that. Oh wait... I have... many many times on this board. Of course, my solution would be to ensure that they are not underpaid... while clearly you'd like to use their low salaries as an excuse to lower the earnings of others.

That appears to be the difference between us. My first post was a lamentation over how tired I was, and how I hoped that my work would ultimately be of benefit. I sought to improve myself. You, on the other hand, appear to want to bring others down. Think about that.
