My physics professor used to be a researcher. When this came up in class, a student said something along the lines of, "It must be awesome working with a lot of really smart people." The prof's response was, "No it was horrible. Physicists are arrogant jerks. They never listen to what anyone else says and think everyone else is an idiot, even other PhDs. They almost all act like they are the only one who actually understands physics. That is why I left research to teach, I hated almost everyone I worked with."
