Hello people, this is my first post to your forum and as a little bit new to the science world , i would like to ask you a question : How is it to be a scientist(Physicist,Mech.Engineer,Chemist etc.)? The only example of a scientist's life that i have seen is The Big Bang Theory... Of course i am aware that it makes a little bit fun of scientist showing them as people that dont have that good of social skills and that this is not obviously true, but are all the other aspects real? For example , their free time-time for hobbys , their financial situation , their work place , their earnings?
P.S I am asking all these because i am 16 years old and i want to become a scientist(Engineer)
