P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"I get excited. I can work on the stuff I like to do, I like to work on, flexibility, freedom, and, let's say, purpose. I believe I'm doing something useful. Most challenging, just not giving up, not giving up and not just go to a normal commercial sphere and go to regular job, having good money. On PhD studies, I think this is most challenging part. There are these ups and downs and just keep going. I guess an example would be when I decided to go back to my Vancouver. That was the key decision, I think. Or maybe even earlier, when I went to the Netherlands to study. Maybe it was moment when I went abroad to study. That was the key, key moment, I guess. I don't know. I'm more in applied fields, like geophysics, especially in British Columbia. There's lots of minings. So if I was money-oriented, I can probably easily find a good job after I finished my studies. In environmental it's a little bit harder, but I think it still should be easy for me. I usually, probably because I'm a little bit older than lots of my folks around, I'm trying to balance it, because the thing is that in my work I need to be productive. Nobody cares whether I work 10 hours or 6 hours. In the end, you have to do the work. And basically, what we say is you're productive at this, so it is your happiness. So if you're happy, you enjoy your life, you're going to do more at work. So I am definitely not a person who spends like 12 hours in front of a computer. Not at all.
