I have a low IQ so it took me a while just to familiarize myself with the basic paradigms and jargon of the field, despite genuinely putting a lot of time and energy into it, and my "research" was largely a bunch of numbermonkey simulation work that only served to validate what my superiors already thought should be true anyway.
I guess this is a good indicator that I'm meant for the codemonkey life, with a few cool textbooks at home to taste but never live the academic life.
