      Haha! Everyone has to get paid to survive (unless you start off very rich in the first place). So I would have to say no to this, unfortunately.

      Unless I were so rich that I wouldn’t need a salary, no… But it’s not the money that motivates me.

      I wish I didn’t have to worry about money! But even scientists need to eat. I am definitely not in science to get rich, though. 🙂

      Yes, sorry to be a pessimist but probably not! I do love my job and would do this over a job I didnt like that paid more, but we all need money!
