When you start college, you should take any advice your professors give you under serious consideration. I was not intending to be a scientist when I started my course of study, but my professors steered me into it.

What were you going to be then, and what did they say? That there's more money in slime-mould taxonomy than in Ancient Egyptian demography?

I had been thinking to try my hand in business and (hopefully) make a pile of money. My professors averred that I would be wasting my brain that way. One even put his money where his mouth was and gave me a job as a lab-rat.

And in hindsight which would have been better - the pile of money, or the lab ratting?

The lab-ratting; there is a certain satisfaction to being a Morlock that money cannot purchase. Besides, I probably would have failed at making the pile of money, blamed the government, and ended my days an angry libertarian.
