| Jun 27 at 23:11 | comment | added | Kaia | For science I think it'd be more likely to hear someone say "Living that grad student lifestyle" or "living the postdoc life" or "enjoying the tenured lifestyle", since the difference in experience between stages are so different | |
| Jun 26 at 22:44 | comment | added | Weather Vane | Or there are other ways to express this? "I am a professional scientist." | |
| Jun 26 at 17:51 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | ...you may also be specifically thinking of the life of a pure research scientist. Not so many people got a slot like that, but those that do are likely to be tenured university professors. | |
| Jun 26 at 17:48 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I kinda doubt many of the people we categorize as professional scientists actually think of themselves as being paid to "ask questions about nature and how the universe works" (they're mostly paid to produce things like vaccines and electronic gadgets, imho, since that's where the money is). But like I say, if "the life of a scientist" means what you want to you, it's a well-established construction. But whereas you might have to clarify what you mean by "scientist", I'd have thought everyone would understand "scientific inquiry" well enough in context. | |

| Jun 26 at 17:40 | comment | added | dsp-fan | Yes, that's the point. I'm trying to use a phrase that describes my life. | |
| Jun 26 at 17:38 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | That could be a philosopher, a writer, or an Internet "influencer". But perhaps to live a life of scientific inquiry would work better. | |
| Jun 26 at 17:34 | comment | added | dsp-fan | A life where you are always asking questions about nature and how the universe works and where you get paid for it. | |
| Jun 26 at 17:32 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | What does "the life of a scientist" mean to you? By and large, I'd have thought scientists live the same kind of lives as most other people. But if you and your audience / readers understand anything meaningful from it, the standard format is to live the life of a scientist. | |
