      That's the magic of science. I'm not there yet, still a long ways off (think around a decade, before I get my Master's or a PhD) but I want to become an astrophysicist. The thing about science is that you won't be stuck in a dead end job you hate, you chose your path and made an educated choice, if you hate it maybe you should've done better.

    Even if NASA does discover life on Mars I'm not counting on us being told the truth.
