Perks?

17 July, 2006

Oooh. This is a tough one.

I'm torn between


  • Flexible working hours and a lot of job variety

  • Open-minded yet skeptical approach useful for other aspects of life

And the results so far. . .

20% - Opportunity to travel and work with people from all over the world

12% - Useful trivia to hand for cocktail party conversations

16% - Flexible working hours and a lot of job variety

12% - Open-minded yet skeptical approach useful for other aspects of life

39% - Everyone assumes you're a nerd, so are pleasantly surprised!

I further flaunt my geek credentials by surmising that either 25 or 99 people have answered the poll.

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
