I just can't bring myself to mundane, boring work. Most work is. Be careful not to squander your opportunities, though. Once you leave grad school, you don't really get to be around that type of environment anymore, for better or worse. (I mean opportunities like being among people who share your personal interests, not financial or business opportunities. Though those are there too, if that's what you want.)

Yeah I probably should have phrased that differently, but my ramblings already resemble those of a pseudo-schizophrenic almost-sentient toaster so it would be of little help. I don't mind the mundane work related to the fields I actually care about, which is why grad school is so much nicer than undergrad. Being surrounded by people of similar interests is nice, but academia is a but too cozy/cushy for my liking, to be honest. Not much really happens; not much excitement or risk. I know in a few years, though, my views will be totally different :P The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, and I resemble a cow in many of my physical characteristics.
