shocking turn of events

there are times in one's life where things just all around stop making sense.

I have always been the anti-business science guy. One only has so much time and intellect and it is that person's responsibility to put his/her time towards the betterment of mankind. Now, our friend Midgley showed some of the problems with that and it is okay to admit that science has had a pretty dubious run. Science, the cause of and solution to, all of man's problems.

Anyway, my issue now is that the limited scope of my research has become untenable. It seems to me that it would be more frustrating to be in science and have to spend your life looking at one small part of a the initially larger problem you were first interested in. Of course, this is a new feeling and may pass, or, hopefully, can be diffused by finding a grad program that will encourage my renaissance nature.

I need a future that allows scope. Unfortunately, that term is relative. What I need to be is a journalistic-research-soldier.
