Did you know scientists currently spend ~80% of time applying for funding instead of doing actual scientific work? Biggest bottleneck is in the early stages, in the range of $100 to $500k, which is referred to as the "valley of death" in academia. In the profit-maxi pharma industry, drugs that cannot be "properly" monetized, often wont even get developed at all. Ones that do, are likely to be overpriced.

yes. The effort goes into teaching students who don’t give a crap what you are saying. They are just there because dad/mom told you so. And then you do a bunch of volunteer service work like reviewing articles for Elsevier or Springer. And you got traveling to meet your friends, not show up at conference talks and get drunk.
