# 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.

I'll just find a nice rich politician to marry or something anyway i think.

# 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?

# no silly
the training wage is £30,000. It then goes up to about £50k.
I'm already having fun imagining all the lovely things I shall buy.

# 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.
