Reasons not to pursue academia in computational biology?
Hi all, math student interested in computational biology and considering the professor route. I understand the obvious downsides: very competitive path, grants/bureaucracy, extremely poor job market if decide to exit academia, etc. However, are there other reasons to not pursue comp bio as a career? Ie if you had to try convince someone not do comp bio, what are the reasons you would give?
Honest and eye-opening advice would be deeply appreciated. #animals
