What can I say? I was feeling minimalist and whimsical.

What do I want to be when I grow up?
I went to a career seminar today. At this point, I feel more confused than ever. Because what do I want to do? Except for teaching, the pro for most of the jobs is money. Here are the cons of a few jobs as I see it:
Chief scientist of a biotech company - little creative/scientific freedom Patent lawyer - going to law school, billable hours Dean of an undergraduate liberal arts college - administrative work Consultant (for biotech) - getting stuck in a cubicle Editor of a scientific journal - deadlines
Right now, it's probably too early to tell. But I do know some things. I like devising experiments (i.e. looking into the details as well as the big picture). I don't want to go through more schooling than I have to. And I don't want to get stuck in a cubicle.
Links: Miller Lite's 'Catfight' ad angers some viewers. And this is surprising? Advertising executives have always made tasteless mistakes. But I'm not going to say anything as I'm the wrong target demographic (I don't watch television, I don't drink beer, and I don't like fighting). Instead, I'll leave you with two opposing views by Vincent Ferrari and Matt Enlow.
