      Something I've noticed from leaving academia after grad school. People often assume I didn't continue because I was bad at being a scientist. By all "standard metrics", this isn't true. I'm still trying to understand where this perception comes from.

      It is weird, especially considering that the system is built in a way that most are forced to leave academia eventually. I see it as the structure of academic science is bad at keeping a good scientist in academia.

      Many professions have this "up or out" structure in which movement up the managerial ladder is eventually mandatory to stay in, but there are necessarily few slots at the top. It turns into, effectively, a kind of lottery that the people on the inside imagine is meritocratic.

          It reminds me of the way any military person will tell you that the existence of the NCO corps is necessary because otherwise, the Peter Principle would deplete the ranks of everyone competent--promoted to failure.

          Academia needs this too. Imagine a reality show where full professors try to do experiments--with no help--using the newest piece of equipment in their labs.

          It took a frustrating amount of time for my partner to believe me when I said that you can be excellent and not make it academia, through no fault of your own, and that is just how it is.

          I worked in a profession where people who did the best a$$ kissing were often promoted over people who legitimately knew what they were doing. Often the people who knew what they were doing were left where they were to do the actual work, until they got frustrated, and left.
