Exactly. I certainly recognized myself in the story. I wanted to be professor, until I learned what they do.

similarly i wanted to be an entrepreneur until i met the daily grind of it. no questionnaire would have dissuaded me. the highs were high and the lows were low; even in retrospect i’m not sure it was the wrong choice. but it would take abnormally high certainty for me to do it again now that i know the score first hand.

Had a similar experience.

It was what they DON’T do that put me off.

Silly me, I thought they spent most of their time doing research!!!
