> There is tons of money in science! Of course there is tons of money in science. But it does not go towards scientists. Some of my friends have PhDs in oceanography. Most of them are working in the lab, cutting fish (sampling) for minimal wage. They are not even permanent employees, but on sliding contract extended every 6 months. Every 4.5 years they have to take one year break, because after 5 years they would become permanent employees. Half empty building they work in has price tag over 200M euro (30M would do). Institute has over 60% non scientific stuff (all permanent of course). For example 10% of people are in HR, my corporation had 0.5% people in HR. And if you studied 10+ years to write documentation which only needs 3 years degree... That is lot of wasted time and money.
