@scottsantens This is no joke. Imagine how many potential Einsteins out there never we lost. Among all the various "Einstein worked in the patent office" and etc comments, we often forget he was actually fairly well to-do and had the freedom to choose the job that suited what he wanted (a boring simple job that let him think about other things while he worked.)
How many cures for cancer have been lost because the person who would have invented them works crap jobs and then collapses at night?
