Exactly. To me, it is really a travesty that the profession and the way of knowing that has created the modern world is not adequately funded. In fact, it goes beyond that. I think scientists and academics in general are made to feel guilty for expecting to make a decent living. Based on the level of education, the contributions to society, and the time/energy that is spent specializing in a particular sub-field, salaries should at least be doubled.
