Good post. I was just talking to Luke the other day, and wondering why is it that the more senior a researcher becomes, the more (s)he resembles a manager.
Probably true for salary, not necessarily true for social standing: superstars are much more highly regarded.
It's not the only profession where this is the case. Programming is notorious for having no career progression after your first decade unless you want to get into management and stop or slow programming activity.
That, of course, assumes the understanding of "career progression" as climbing the ranks ladder in a hierarchical organization.
