I'm an academic (post-doc) and while I am about to transition, I've never really worked hard to get an actual tenure track position because honestly I don't want to become a grant writer who does so little actual scientific work, in all honesty. I might have to for my future's stability sake but I've been loathe to. I want to do science, not academia.

- Rayhem 6y ago> I want to do science, not academia. Don't get me wrong, I come from the same background you do and have similar wishes, but isn't this just "I want to do the things I like and not the things I don't" (which is true for anyone anywhere in any job)? Any job is going to have unliked things (that's why it's w.o.r.k and not f.u.n).
