The academic world is HORROR, at least here in Europe. People who have only just acquired their PhD will think that they know everything, researchers will only boast about thier research and don't care about anyone else. On top of that, I've seen more backstabbing and betraying in academic circles than anywhere else. My dad has a PhD in Immunology, he did research for a few years after that but got so disgusted with that world that he switched to Industry. It also depends on what you are doing, exact sciences are wellfunded, but if you are specializing in human sciences you WILL have to fight to get money for you research, which brings backstabbers and traitors back into play.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It may be easier to get funding in a big country like the US, but when you live in a small country like Belgium, where funds are limited, people will go through great lenghts to get funds. Maybe it's just my uni, which has the reputation of being elitist as hell, but I've SEEN physical fights over research funds.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
