Exactly. Getting a grant is so diffuclt. The idea needs to be very original, ethical AND possible to research in order for a considerable grant to be given.
Alngside that, there needs to be numerous proposals on how one will conduct research and any unethical or unorthodox methods or ideas need to go through an appeal and directly to the board, which reject things often than they let them be, regardless if appeals, ideas or benefits of research.
Stupid Milgram and Zimbardo! They ruined it for everyone.
Like I said, I am really too lazy to be doing all that...I cannot even think of an original idea in social sciences that someone hasn't looked into, and there is no way in hell I can finance myself.
If I had inherited fortune like Paris Hilton, I'd be researching and publishing left right and center. Relevant and non relevant. Wasted fortune, her's is.

Bardock42 is a whimpering pussy now who lost his flare to debate vigorously and just spouts senseless and thinly veiled puns here and there. You nazi pr*ck. Get your balls back from whoever you sold them to, you fat f*ck. What happened to the manly, chubby German big mouth we once knew, who'd flatten ignorance with a solid argument? Now it's like Andy Dick meets John Candy. You hybrid beefcake. Suck my c*ck
Sure. HAHA, sucker, I would have done it for free.

Wow, a lot of people here are interested in writing. I really have no plans except for finishing my degree, and mustering enough stamina and concentration to finish the novel that I've started.

It's a thing that everyone thinks they can do, I guess.
Also, the perceived lifestyle of authors is appealing to many.

Now that i've finally found a job, try to get a better job in the next couple of months. Go to law school and earn a juris Doctor in international law or enlist in ROTC and try grad school or both. If enlisted, possibly serve out my time in JAG, then get a job in the state department.

If any one of the dozen or so novelists on here need someone to read over their stuff, send me a PM. I would love to read something written by one of you.
That's the acuality of the situation, not the perceived lifestyle.
You and KidRock could be partners.
Would also make a good sitcom....brb, working on a pitch.

Nah, too tempting to play hazardous practical jokes. I write and do creative stuff that people have been encouraging me to try and perform or get published but I have no interest in turning that into a career.

I completely agree. Popular media has a terrible habit of romanticising the lifestyle of authors. Shows like Califonication (which I like) and Castle are so far from reality, it's ridiculous. Also, people seem to underestimate the time it takes to become a professional writer.
And the people who don't actually read, but say they want to write, piss me off more than anything.

Are you....a a hottie? Sellin' your body will cause you to lose so much respect for yourself...unless you don't have any already...depends on you, really.
On another note, I considered being a male stripper at 18, as well.
And, if you're so bent on selling your body, you should get the opinion of your fellow KMCers, first.
Dadudemon is right, therefore I offer my opinion here, you should do it, there's nothing wrong with it, you won't lose respect at least not if you don't listen to people like dadudemon, you can make some good money, I applaud your decision.

You're incorrect, partially. Depends on the person. And, I was the type who wouldn't have lost respect for myself...did you read my post?
I dated this lady, when I was 18...she decided to do stripping on Friday's and Saturday's. To pay off her student loan and to save money for her car. She literally cried for an hour every night after she got home. It was a horrible horrible experience for her.
But.....some tasteful softcore pornographic pictures would be alright. You usually only have to put up with the photographer, in most cases...and that's not too bad. It won't net you as much as stripping.....but it will make you some money.
