Here's to hard science! Also, please notice that the highest listed income (I'm assuming it's an average of some kind) in the top 20 best jobs in the US is an Astronomer - $102,233. Then, please notice that the second highest listed income is for a Physicist - $100,140.

So for all those accounting, business and pre-med majors who so haughtily study incredibly boring subjects with only the hope of obtaining riches beyond imagination, eat it!

I chose my major because I like it and, woah! what a surprise, I can make a heck of a lot of money doing something I actually like... what a concept.

I think it is silly to say that pre-med people study things they don't actually like. Maybe they have the hope of helping improve the quality of people's lives beyond imagination, hmmm?

Also, I think if you're going to link to my blog, you should probably tell me how you found it because I would feel better about life.
