Thank you for posting this. I often wonder if it is worth it to go to school for 7 more years to become a physicist, but then I realize that I have to do what I really want to do with my life, and that is learning about what the universe is made of. This gives me hope when I see three needed degrees ahead of me and wont be making a lot of money. However, it will all be worth it. I would rather be a poor scientist than a rich, unfulfilled, mindless office drone.

I really like the point of this article, but there are a few grammar problems/spelling problems which are distracting.

1.Oh and ladies, when your husband who you thought was the most perfect guy in the world leaves you for some skank, your not going to feed that ferrrari payment of a kid on 16k a year.
–Should be “you’re”/”you are”
2. Most likely you will have a heart attack before retirement and either die or be to old and fat to enjoy retirement.
–should be “too” old

3. Will anyone remember bob the guy who watched every eppisode of whatever television show?
–episode

I thought I was missing the courage to do something about my lifestyle. Well… no. It was just me being lazy. But you’ve put the options on the table so beautifully I think I’m done being lazy.
