- cocktailpeanuts 10y agoMost scientists are NOT creative thinkers. They just extend what came before them. People like Einstein is the exception but people seem to think all scientists are like him and draw wrong conclusions. On the other hand, if you think entrepreneurs are just "executers" and not "creative thinkers" you are completely wrong. Most entrepreneurs are forced to think creatively every single day (otherwise they won't survive). Scientists don't need to because they have a stable job. If you're a scientist, some ambitious people want to become an Einstein but 99% of the population don't ever believe they can become one and just do mediocre research all their life. Unlike entrepreneurs where mediocre work will mean their business will fail and their family will starve, mediocre scientists can survive just fine, because they're paid by the research organization or the university they belong to.
