      Yes, there are times when it can be difficult, but for me, that’s the challenge. The harder the challenge the better the reward.

      Hello. Sometimes its difficult. Its just like any job. Though I do feel like being a scientist means that you have greater career uncertainty and lower pay than other industries, particularly biological sciences. This can add stress or make it difficult to survive financially. The day to day work is challenging but motivating.
