Looking for work

57 days left

I had an interview today. My first non-science interview. I've been VERY indecisive about what to do next, after the PhD.

(Words written on thesis during the last 6 days: very few)

My current fad is finance. I'm thinking of becoming a finance person who audits and analyses numbers and tells rich people and businesses how many monies they have and that they can pay less tax and pay me more fees - yes that's right, a tax accountant. Apparently the pay is good, the work is not bad and you're not always on some client site auditing.

Him-indoors isn't impressed with accountancy and has expressed this quite clearly. He's not impressed very easily though and because I have talked about certain research fields I'm interested in, he thinks I'm better off staying a scientist. I don't think I'm an academic. I'm not made of the right stuff. I'm not like them. I think. May be I'm not finance material either. Oh, this is too hard! I have a finance interview and a science interview coming up next week. I have no idea what to do. Today's interview was neither finance or science.
