What are some disadvantages to being an alternative energy researcher? Or, why wouldn’t you want to be one?

I’m doing a career research project on alternative energy researchers, and I need help finding information about a "critical issue," or disadvantage, of being in the career. Any ideas?

In less you are in collage now by the time you graduate the job market and technology will be on to something else.
As they say there is only jobs and money in an idea or technology as long as the research has not caught up with the product.
Once the product is developed the money and research funds go out of it and it becomes an item on the shelf.
Once it becomes an item on the shelf the value goes away, the money and the job.
In your first year of collage take you core science classes and try and figure out what is your passion.
Once you find your passion follow it in all earnest and your success and feeling of fulfillment will come out of it.
Don’t pursue the job, pursue your intereststs you have to remember it is what you want to do for the rest of your life.
There are so many possible solutions and so many technologies that may come to play. I think, if you are doing basic research, you have wide horizons and a noble cause. The added benefit is you know what you have to beat. You need to find something that is more reliable and cost effective than what we have already. That gives you a real target.
Alternate energy is the buzz word of the day. But it does not mean that you have everything working for you. As you know that getting an idea and implementing it is a long drawn process. If you go any University you will fns that there may be so many thesis written and patents taken. But only a fraction f it would be taken up by the industry for manufacture. This is because of the cost effect of the project is not properly fitted into.
Every job nature changes over time. So what counts is the passion. If you have the passion to be a researcher in alternative energy field you will very well come up in your area of interest. But your interest is only in getting a plumb job then you are taking a big risk. Hope this helps.
A critical issue is that that these companies who hire alternative energy researchers do not hire anyone with the name "Caitlin", so you’re shit outa’ luck. I hear that Mcdonalds hires- regardless of the name of the employee!
