I want a job that has no schedule and no routine, I don't mind NOT "being my own boss", I want something exciting and special and enriching, something with which I can be satisfyed with once I'm in my deathbed in the hospital at the age of 87 with prostate cancer and I look back at my life. I don't want to wake up every morning at 6 am and have a boring career that never seems to have a beginning and an end and just waiting for my retirement (like most careers seem to be nowadays). I play the violin (6 years now, I'm almost 16), yet I love math and sports. Any suggestions? | ||

I fucking hate it. I want to be doing eSports full time... but it does feed the family and put a roof over our heads. | ||

I'd check it out, lots of math and exiting lab work - And if you work in research you can develop new medicine and drugs etc. And its so fun  | ||

I have the standard Biology degree (LAS, not Agriculture), planning on getting my PhD whenever I get a chance or I find myself out of work. Right now I'm working for a university in collaboration with a group in Israel, and get paid as a staff member. I sort of just bounce around doing whatever projects the laboratories at the university needs help with since I have such a broad background with a lot of lab experience. It's the closest thing to being a science mercenary :p | ||

Pretty repetitive, but i think after 4y i'm getting used to it, i use to hate it even if i think programming is fun when it's challenging. Most websites aren't. I wish i was a DJ, a Game designer at Blizzard or a weed farmer in The Netherlands ^^ | ||

Also if you don't mind me asking, what educational background do you have? | ||
