When I was a child I wanted to dedicate my live to art. I have always loved drawing and painting. But well, you know, society and "experienced voices" make you change your mind because "you have to study a lot to become someone someday" or "drawing is not a job" or "You can't reach that dream", and stuff... perhaps all of this sounds familiar to you...
Consequently, I studied hard (Chemistry bachelor degree, Master in Analytical Chemistry...) and began looking for fellowships (Ph.D.) and jobs... And the nightmare began... NO FELLOWSHIPS, NO JOBS! -- At least not a lot of them, with low salaries and asking for great marks and experience ̵
