This thing with "physicists don't make big bucks" irks me. They've gone too far already. Yes, you won't be a millionaire if you have a degree in physics / math / chemistry etc. But you still earn more than the average Joe. Fits in perfectly with the fact that TBBT actually still discourages young people to get into science. Our [former] heros have been humiliated and emasculated so many times, it's not funny anymore.
Man darf nicht das, was uns unwahrscheinlich und unnatürlich erscheint, mit dem verwechseln, was absolut unmöglich ist. - Carl Friedrich Gauß
