15. When I was growing up and studying to be a chemist I always thought I would use my synthetic knowledge for good. Cure cancer or something. Never in a million years did I think I would essentially become a drug dealer and worse, make a living off something that could kill people. The sad fact is that these compounds have been the only thing standing between me (and my colleagues) and the unemployment line.
