Oh man did scientific management creep me out!! Why do you like that direction?

There's so much I'd like to do for groups that have little resources..... Sigh. This steemit account might someday enable that?

I like consulting because I am always working on something completely different. I love that type of challenge, its fast paced (really too damn fast this month, holy crap....), and to me, it feels rich. That's completely different than the way academia feels to me. So glad I jumped ship!

Getting hired by a consulting firm is really freaking intense though. Those places work those folks into the ground. I recommend finding an alternate pathway into this sort of the work, unless you want to work 90 hours a week and fly all over the country all the time. The travel sounds exotic, but trust me (if you don't know yourself), travel is only fun if it is voluntary. I make the most of all of my work travel, but still....
