any marine biologists out there?

That's true but you gotta stop and consider the implications of those who don't get jobs in their respective fields after that much schooling. Sometimes, it's not even a matter of personal ethic and whatnot but of chances.

Ten years is pretty scary. Then again, my friend's sister has done really well for herself in her field. Basically rakes in $100k-ish a year through funding and grants. She's not even done yet. Must be nice...
