Why You Don’t Actually ‘F*cking Love Science’
“Meanwhile, the average salary for a postdoctoral scholar, the workhorse of the academic science world, is about $40,000.Why am I focusing on academic science? Because it doesn’t have a “profit motive.” Private industry pays far, far more. It’s not dependent on the government, which restricts what postdocs may be paid.
