Its weird for me. When I finally let go of needing that to define me, and relaxed, enjoyed what I was doing (though it was as a technician), that was when I ended up getting the best shot at being a scientist. :)

I don't know if I really can define myself now. I still think of myself more as a technician. Maybe its best not to really put too much into the definitions because then there's the chance for things to surprise you, or in some cases create new definitions.
