Unfortunately not.
Oversubscribed courses and lots of people with the same results leads to people reading personal statements and references. As my reference will fail to say that I work well to deadlines and have excellent attendance, I need to make myself sound fantastic in other ways.

Exactly,
if you want to progress in your job you'll have to suck (up to) your boss and stuff to get a promotion. I don't play well with others.
With a nice science degree, I just have to be ocassionally fantastic and amazingly arrogant and I'll be considered a natural for a professorship at a university somewhere.

That's ok,
it gives me the right to shout at people who I think are stupid and get paid for it.

No, science is highly political
You have to make alliances with all the right people if you want to get your grants funded.

But I don't.
If I get a grant fund, I'll have to produce results. Where's the fun in that?

On the bright side
you'll have to work 80-hour weeks and with a bit of luck you'll have a breakdown before you're 30. Or take an overdose.

ooh
i like living on a prayer.
I was going to be an accountant/work in finance but then I dropped maths.
If I manage to stay in the profession for a while, i should be earning in excess of that anyway. I still like the politician idea though..

That's a very profound thought.
I think when I am old I will embroider it onto a sampler and hang it on my wall.
