In my field you’ve got to try pretty hard to get low pay and
long hours, so my concern’s more with the working environment.
Definitely nothing repetitive, and the more intellectual my
colleagues are, the better. Just last week, I was in the office
shooting the breeze and talking about the differences between Item
Response Theory and classical test theory, and it’s good to be able
to do that without getting the obligatory “WTF?” look.
