  To he able to deeply understand a science and be credentialed makes me internationally valuable, as opposed to having limits in just a single market. Sure I could just hop over to a big corp, but long term wise, I’m not sure if it’s sustainable building credible expertise from just working up the chain, that lifestyle could also disappear from the marketplace like tenured jobs; additionally I would love to be a top expert chosen to contribute to national policy or economical mattters. My model of financial success for the future depends on impact, specialization, incisive & collaborative science and a recognizable brand.
