Interesting book on why famous scientists became scientists here. Me, I became a 'scientist' by accident. I signed up for a Horticultural Science degree thinking it would be mostly horticulture. WRONG. It was mostly science. And I didn't have the guts to change degree, and didn't want to listen to my dad going on about how I don't finish anything, so I stayed and got a science degree.
I may be this close to having a PhD in science, but I still don't think of myself as a scientist.

I may however be my way of thinking which being a scientist affects somewhat!(-:
Leave the big philisophical questions until AFTER thesis... at the moment thesis seems like life. Eventually it will be just a chapter and the other things you are too will come back into perspective!
