Whatever it is, doctors/scientists/politicians definitely aren't it. Something about working within the boundaries of the system is really unattractive to me

💯 % agreed with this sentiment, and then my experience working across 5 or so labs is that sadly most scientists are no longer pursuing their work because of a love of nature ☹️

It's more about correlation really; not all scientists are bad, but often the system selects for people who want to win the concrete game set out for them - study the thing in the school, get the paper that lets you get the big job, etc.
Which doesn't mean what they're doing isn't good, it's just the sort of personality I'm really attracted to is the one that goes "I'm going to both invent the game and win it"
