I will state, however, that I did make some interesting contributions to knowledge and even helped invent some things we all see every day in modern web browsers. Unfortunately, my university never backed my group to patent any of those inventions and so the most we got out of them was conference talks and a few papers while others adopted the ideas we gave away for free and made a lot of money off of them. Not that I'm cynical, but damn I ate a lot of crappy food and even had $0 tax returns a couple of years there.
