Gilead closed up shop, Dendreon declared bankruptcy and so one. Novo Nordisk is still around and there's still cancer research and food safety (DO NOT WORK THERE HOLY loving poo poo DON'T DO IT) but that's about it. What did you jump to? I'm in Seattle and unemployed for months, so I'm trying to get into the world of the database.

While there are also some downsides such as a higher risk factor and the uncertainty of not always knowing when the next paycheck will arrive, many seem more than willing to deal with the tradeoffs.

Mourne posted:Got an offer for a position in molecular genetics at 15$/hr, unfortunately there isn't any PTO whatsoever and health insurance would be 580$/month. I'm going to have to decline the job because I simply can't pay my student loans and make rent on such little money. I thought a B.S degree in chemistry would be a little more lucrative. It appears I have been misled. This was my first job out of school pretty much after 6 months unemployment. Im going into programming now.

Mourne posted:You have my condolences. That sounds just awful. If it makes you feel any better I am no longer even getting any call-backs for the hundreds of resumes I have been firing off into the void. I'm starting to question whether or not I picked the right field. After months and months of this, I gave up and started learning to program.  e: I see I told you this in march as well. Chemistry isn't the healthiest field these days. PokeJoe fucked around with this message at 01:12 on May 20, 2015 |

I didn't go to grad school but I did learn to program and got a job as a software engineer after burning out of lab tech work with my BS. A buddy who powered through his PhD ended up working in data science after postdoc chemistry work anyway. If you want to do tech stuff just do tech stuff now and save yourself the trouble of grad school imo
