nik 0 Posted October 7, 2003 Hey! I'm in that that list - postdoc! My job isn't as bad as the description makes it, mostly becuase in my field (physics) postdocs have a fair amount of respect and responsibility. However, the long hours and high-endurance is certainly true. I easily put in 80 hours per week, and over the summer, I was working on an experiment and ramped up to 150 hours per week for about a month - catching a few hours of sleep every now and then on the floor of my office. The stuff about having no life is true also. However, I do manage to get a few minutes here and there to do things like writes posts on web sites.......
