College: The Next Grand (Mis)Adventure: Why am I such a bloody flipflopper?

So, after talking to a rather jaded kid dating one of my friends from high school and whose parents head a lab, have several Nature publications, and they still only make $80,000 a year (I’m assuming separately), I realized that if I decide to pursue only a PhD, the rest of my life is going to consist of earning very little money for a lot of work.[..] But of course, all my money problems would be solved and I would happily just pursue a PhD if I found a nice older man (no older than 30) who’s already working to put me through graduate school. Guess I should just go home this summer and hang out at Planet Granite all the time, it worked for my friend!

Mine is still driving his mom’s minivan…

But it’s the fact that he could buy a better car if he wanted to that counts. :D
