Ok, the following article isn't STEM.
And although it's an extreme case, with a hint of muckraking, it does point at the plight of academics these days ...

Ok, we've seen threads on the NSA (or some school admin) suppressing a Hopkin's professor's writings, another on federal research grant cutbacks and then, more threads on continuous STEM shortages.
Enough all ready! it's time to explore the truth.
If you are financially independent then sure, please do scientific research. Otherwise, forget about it; get a regular business-type of job/career and move on with life.
The following is a documentary of a bunch of Trustafarians and their guild-ed lifestyles.

The above are the ones who can do research, otherwise, be ready to join the underclasses.
Here's that clarion call ... "Calling all Trustafarians, become a scientist. Make use of that inheritance and do something for the greater humanity. Your ancestors already banked the billions & you can afford to fly to the Bahamas for the weekend to cool off, if re-running failed experiments starts to get to you. Don't be another party animal in the Hamptons. Leave that to the Nouveau Riche, like a Jay-Z or a Mark Cuban; you've got a higher purpose like being the next Darwin or Maxwell"
