# 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.

# 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..
