Let's Be Clear: All Professions Look Bad In The Movies. And There's A Good Reason For This. Movies Don't Portray Career Paths, They Conscript Interesting Lifestyles To Serve A Plot. So Lawyers Are All Unscrupulous And Doctors Are All Uncaring. Psychiatrists Are All Crazy, And Politicians Are All Corrupt. All Cops Are Psychopaths, And All Businessmen Are Crooks. Even Moviemakers Come Off Badly: Directors Are Megalomaniacs, Actors Are Spoiled Brats. Since All Occupations Are Portrayed Negatively, Why Expect Scientists To Be Treated Differently?
