I Want to Major in Biology
August 19, 2016 at 9:17 am
When I'm in grad school a few years after being a pharmacist what jobs in biology can I find.
I don't wanna sit there and count pills all day if you know what I mean... Probably not.
Maybe I can just get a bio job instead of being a pharmacist at all!
But they do make a lot money in New York, those bastards.
I've been told they're "glorified cashiers".
Oh well just lemme know down in the thread if you got any jobs in mind.
See you.

Better yet, become a physicist or a software developer. The former must be the most exciting for an intelligent mind, the latter the most profitable.

I like maths but... You know what I'll actually see this time. I used to want to be a physicist but I want like two kids and stuff that costs money and I want to help my parents when I grow old (even if they don't give a fuck) so I might have to wait and see. But physicist is actually not to bad.

Study physics and work on getting a strong software development background on the side. You'll have more job opportunities than you can send applications for

to find a bio job if the bio degree is all you have

I think I'll take your advice as well.

Buddy of mine (biology major) got a job, first, developing commercial agricultural growth hormones to build his lab experience...and transitioned from that to a research position synthesizing long chain polymers for use in solar panels as part of a review process of another's published work.
He said it was pretty easy to get a job (and ultimately create one) with a biology major...if you didn't mind selling your soul to the devil for a few years to demonstrate your proficiency in a high production lab environment, and viability as an income generator (big ag, lol).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
