Neither Fame Nor Fortune
I am really good at my job, and I feel pretty accomplished when I leave every day because I get to do actual science: lab coat, gloves, safety glasses, test tubes, lasers, the whole bit. I still think what I can do is really frakking cool. But most of the time, I also feel overworked, under-appreciated, and underpaid.
Every once in a while, I really feel like I'm making a difference in the world, finding the cure for AIDS. If we haven't already, we are really really close. This feeling makes it all worthwhile.
