When I were a lad, although I enjoyed most science lessons, I was given the distinct impression that taking a job that included a free lab coat wasn't really the path to a fulfilling career littered with jacuzzis full of Swedish models. Consequently, I focused more attention on IT support. It was far easier to learn and full of people you could feel superior too by fixing things with a few clicks of mouse. I do wonder though, if only Half-Life 2 had been around when I studied for my A-Levels, I might have actually tried to learn the left hand rule for counting wave lengths (or whatever) and would be well on my way to building a gravity gun by now. Sadly, I've learnt far too late from Mr Freeman that after passing those devilish physics exams I'd be rewarded with a life where the most tricky of scientific experiments consisted of plugging in a portal generator, then spending the rest of my time turning aliens into piles of green goo and bullets. OK, so maybe I have a prob...
