Yes, I enjoy that my job is often involving problem solving as it feels like I’m learning as I go along. I also enjoy that what I’m doing has a positive real world impact.
Yes! Sometimes it’s hard because you don’t know the answers to the problems you’re looking at and you’re trying to solve, but that’s what makes the job exciting! I now mostly work on my computer and I miss the days I spent in the lab or in the field, but I still enjoy my work.
I think the reality of work is that all jobs involve aspects we don’t enjoy or we find tiresome and that the likelihood is if we didn’t need the money we probably wouldn’t work. However being involved in the funding of science helps you feel that the work is worthwhile and that you are contributing to something good.
The scientific aspects of my job, such as getting to grips with proposals for physics research funding are much more interesting than the more administrative tasks!
A lot! Sometimes it is hard but every day is a discovery and tiny step for understanding how nature works. I am so enthusiastic about my job that I wake up before the sun rises and run to the lab.
