You're one of the ones that I pity most. It's got nothing to do with science being "cool or interesting". It has everything to do with someone forcing themselves to do something that they don't even like.

I want to see humans expand into space. But the desire is waning. Every day, my hatred for people grows. I find it harder to study aerospace.

Humans are a cancer, and the most exceptional quality of this disease is the capacity for better humans to distance themselves from their inferior counterparts and flourish.

honestly i liked it since i was young, and i feel like getting a job as some business person would be a total sellout; those guys are corrupt imo and i don't want to be a part of it. scientists have a higher "purity" level; no trade secrets or dirty deals. i respect artists and stuff but they can't make a living, and entrepreneurs who make something are cool, but you need to be lucky to make a new business model that works, and technical people like plumbers and electricians are honorable but that's so brainlet-tier. doctors are too heavily saddled with financial and ethical issues. science is just the comfiest

I've always been fascinated by nature and was able to learn advanced topics fairly quickly while not getting bored out of my mind. Since I want to actually make a living while not being stuck inside an office for too long, I've decided to be a geologist and go from there.

You just described the things that you actually like, and the job is the means to the end, fine. But you like things.

Ironically, one of the things that you described was another viable career path (oh but not enough money feed my children) but then you'd actually like your work ya dingus.

I’ve genuinely come to the conclusion that an interest in cars, family and interior decorating should be artificially instilled in people just so they can be motivated and sane in todays society.
