2. Hello? Mathematician, right here. Science for science's sake is all that interests me, and people like me. Far more interesting to tinker with 1000-year old problems on a chalkboard than work with a team of be-goggled engineers assembling someone else's thingamajig for some faceless corporate or gov't agency. Once one has delved into the abstract, it feels so limiting to force every idea into a 'useful' or 'practical' box.
