I would not have had a hope in hell of getting an enjoyable job in
computational biology without the experience I gained as a PhD. The
post-doc was replete with freedom and thus "low paying". Payment came
from the freedom to pursue ideas. Now I am in 
a commercial environment applying the theoretical experience I gained 
as a post-doc. Paid decently and enjoying my job. Could never have had this
without post-doccing.
