      I’ve been in my current job for about nine months. Before this, I was on another research project for just over 2 years and before that, I was working on my PhD. The work week here is officially about 40 hours per week, but in science we tend to take a lot of work home with us (reading and writing, mostly).

      @ St4mpi10n6n0s3,

      I have been working as a researcher (scientist) for 3 years now, but only 1 year as full time – before that I was juggling another job and just doing the research as a second job. I h ave been working in total though since I finished my degree is 2007, with many fitness and exercise jobs included in that time.
