The package or baggage?

This whole site closure thing is really taking a lot out of me. I am beginning to think that the compensation package is crap. For the insecurity and the stress I am in, the money does not help my emotions. Maybe that is why I have a headache or feel nauseous.

If the site closure did not happen, I don't need to go throw this at all.

Look, I am in the scientific arena. Face it, I do not have a PhD. Even for those who have found it tough in the academia. I have been doing science for 8 years. I was finally breaking through. FINALLY. And I enjoyed my peers and work environment. Now I am forced to leave my comfort zone and start all over. I need to start establishing myself again. This is absolutely frustrating.

I had it all planned out. A steady job. Interesting, enjoyable, family-oriented. I crumple at the thought of losing my ambitions.

Compensation package. You are a financial bonus. But a worthless vessel for the state of my current soul.
