1) Спасибо atorin'у за ссылку на Women in Science
2) Я в шоке от того, что вчера я об этом подумал в своём посте, а сегодня кто-то запостил те же ответы, но развёрнутые на несколько страниц

Итак Вопросы:
There are many aspects to a job other than what exactly you occupy your mind with. Here's a partial list:

• work mostly collaboratively?
• meet a lot of new people?
• work mostly with competent people?
• work mostly with interesting people?
• able to see the direct impact of one's work?
• able to teach others?
• get to travel to interesting places on a regular basis?
• able to leave work behind when you go home at the end of the day? (or do you have to prepare, read email, answer phone calls, etc. when at home?)
• able to take long blocks of time off for exotic travel?
• cog in a large bureaucracy?
• satisfaction of being the boss?
• value to employers increases with age and experience?
• able to move to any part of the country/world and find a similar job? (or effectively stuck in one or two cities where an industry is concentrated)

Different people will assign different values to these aspects of work.
