Watch the winner of this year's 'Dance Your Ph.D.' contest:
[...] Dance Your Ph.D., hosted by Science and AAAS.[...] The contest challenges scientists around the world to explain their research through the most jargon-free medium available: interpretive dance. "Antonia Groneberg's choreography, inspired by zebrafish larvae, merged dance and science for an aesthetically stunning and intellectually profound masterwork of art," says Alexa Meade, one of the contest judges and an artist who uses mathematics and illusion in her work.
[...] Largely shot over one hot weekend at Champalimaud Research, the video incorporates colleagues, some of her dance students, children of the adult participants, and others on the Lisbon campus. (Groneberg says she went around asking, "Do you have toddlers I can borrow?")
[...] The judges—a panel of world-renowned artists and scientists—chose Groneberg's dance from 30 submissions based on both artistic and scientific merits. She takes home $1000 and a distinction shared by 11 past overall winners. "This year's Dance Your Ph.D. featured some of the best combinations of science and interpretive dance I have seen! The competition made complicated subject-matters accessible while maintaining the integrity of the material," Meade says.
This year's contest covered four broad categories: biology, chemistry, physics, and social science.

The second applicant for two reasons.
1. They have sufficient education and proven experience.
2. They likely wouldn't demand as high of an income as the one with multiple degrees.

If you're not running a research lab , even free is too expensive. Look at RMS. You won't want him working on a commercial project, even where you plan to release the source. His personality mitigates against success.
He'd spend so much time talking about a closed source printer driver that any decent programmer could work around given the motivation, then try to get everyone to switch to emacs and lisp. Then someone will get the cattle prods and shovels, someone else will bring a roll of carpet, and a third will have a few bags of quicklime in their trunk, and keZERK!
