:: Um conservative, you still haven't unlocked the page for me to format it. Also a zoologist is bit different from an evolutionary biologist, although some stuff would interlink. Also I would have thought a fair few scientists would be jumping at the bit to get a job down in Antarctica. [[User:Dvergne|Dvergne]] 00:13, 19 March 2013 (EDT)

== boring vs. glamorous - Engineering vs. life sciences - Boring and engineering wins! ==
I spoke to a friend of mine about this article. My friend says that biotech/bioengineering/human genome project is glamorous/exciting and is seen as world changing and a lot of people poured into the field. He said that engineering is seen as boring and it has a shortage of engineering PhDs. My friend says that sometimes it pays to be boring. He also said that often the best investments are boring too, but the flashy investments often fail (utility companies - boring and profitable, Facebook IPO was "exciting", but had problems).
Moral of the story: Liberals see evolutionary biology field as exciting, but "all the glitters is not gold". Evolutionary biology is fool's gold. :) [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 04:27, 19 March 2013 (EDT)
