Wholeheartedly agree on this, the college I went to harboured and nurtured a disdain for profit seeking and expected you to adopt a self-sacrificing altruistic approach to pursuing research.<p>No thanks.<p>I&#x27;m sorry that research wasn&#x27;t enough to convince me to turn my back on living moderately well. Seems like most the people in my cohort felt the same, which is a shame because in the top 20 from my college, only 3 stayed on to do research. Which means profit-seeking companies are siphoning most the talent from research.
