Fame
Quick exercise: does the excerpt below sound like your typical watercooler conversation?
"Oh. My. Goodness. Did you see the profile on Sam Nakamura in the Journal of Geophysical Research?"
"Of course I did. Did you hear what he did with that new EGS plant out in Arizona? He's such a heartthrob."
"Tell me about it. I have his poster on the ceiling above my bed."
Geothermal engineers aren't the Jonas Brothers. There probably aren't any magazine covers in your future or any squealing fans clamoring for your autograph. If you get really, really lucky, your work might get mentioned as a bullet-point in a newsletter for geothermal geeks. Try not to let that level of notoriety go to your head.
