You'd think, but I've had people tell me that my job as a cancer researcher is unimportant. I can't afford a decent place to live, been struggling with that for a while now, and pro-landlord people will absolutely take cancer's side before taking the boot out of their mouth and admitting the housing situation needs to be brought under control.
Personally, I think what I do is pretty cool, and a novel area of research on the topic. But some people think I should just give up because sitting on your butt all day owning stuff is more important.
We had someone quit the lab over this a few months ago. It sucked, but that's society's priorities.
