I have a PhD, but it was the process of getting that where I eventually just got very depressed and tired. It often didn't work, dragged on and had me under immense pressure to make it work. I loved the lab work before that. When I couldn't immediately get a job, I moved out of the lab and haven't looked back.
Your fanfic sounds great! I'll have to check it out when I get some time. This is making me want to rewatch my DVDs.
I think my favourite character in the early seasons was the woman in charge. Her name escapes me, but I loved how she put up with all the scientists. David was great in that he said all the things you wish you could say to people who are rude in their ignorance, but he'd never be able to survive in that job without someone like the chick in charge. I really adored David at first, I just think his character started to grate on me as the series went on... especially after they got rid of his daughter as a character. She was amazing, with her sad love storyline. I also adored Carlos though. He was like a big puppydog who smoothed all the ruffled edges. The kinda guy you'd want at your bedside to explain stuff if you were ever in the hospital. I think I loved the mix of all the early characters, actually. They were all slightly off-centre, but they got each other through their shared love of science and making a difference. It was such a great show! *sigh*
