Mechanical Engineer with minor in Geology. Plan to work in the oil or mining field. Preferably oil.

> BS Biotechnology, Chem and Human Phys minors (3.7)
> Got into research, loved it
> 1 coauthor and another in the works from undergrad
> Want to get into immunology phd program
> Currently working as a cell culture associate at a biotech company

Question for anyone in science. My current job doesn't have any chance of more publications, but it makes better money than most research positions. What are my chances of getting into a PhD program at a mid-top tier university with 2 years at this biotech company? vs. finding a research job and having another 2 years of research?

do yourself a favor, from one pre-med to another, and refrain from calling yourself a med school hopeful until you get an MCAT score. every joe-blow and his mother wants to be a fucking MD, you gotta earn that shit the hard way

>>42667148
good idea, finance industry is growing quickly for next few years. You should find stable employment with a CFP, CFA, etc.

>>42666360
Almost every pre-med student I've met was gay or closeted, a good amount had aspergers too.
I'm assuming you're not just "bio", because that really isn't enough.
Get at least a 3.7 gpa, don't get a C in any major class, and study for that MCAT like it's a fulltime job for months and months.

>>42667476
I'm just about to head into grad school so I'm not sure, most undergraduates don't have publications before grad school and a lot don't have any during either.
I'm a geo fag but I checked out a lot of grad students at the universities I'm looking at and usually only half have any pubs and it's usually foreigners that do.
From my research, and talk from profs and advisors, it's pretty much
>GRE and GPA are just screens
>letters of rec, research, and statement of purpose matter
Remember you are pretty much working for an advisor for 3-4 years so how you get along with them and how interested you are in their research are really important.
I would just apply while still working and see what happens.

Residency blows
>tfw attending in 9 months

Nothing good man. I got a bachlor's degree in a business field. Moved to a city that focuses on it and haven't been able to get a job in that field other than "temp" work through staffing agencies. I stopped doing temp work and just got a 8-4 in a mail order pharmacy, pays more, the work is so simple and the benefits are actually fairly nice.

Course, my degree is worthless and was 30k wasted until I can actually get a job in the field.

>>42669034
I know a lot of people who didn't end up working in their field and wound up happy and fulfilled.

Don't quit looking, but there are worse things than to end up wasting that time and money and still finding a way to fall ass backwards into a stable job.

I'm a PGY 2 peds resident. Going into Peds Crit care and will probably do a year in SCC or Cards, not sure.

>>42669077
I'm okay with not working in my field. Finance was never that interesting to me to begin with, but I got the degree, helped out my family with their business and moved across the country to the city that chimes about how they're the capital of finance.

I don't want a stable job. I want a career. Even at the mail order pharmacy, it's still a simple, stable 38k a year position. Many would like it. But it's far from a career. If you want to become a pharmacy, that's another 4-5 years of pharmacy school and 140k for that degree.

I'm just about open to any field of work these days as long as there's a career path I can follow in it.

>>42666360
I'm in a top 25 USMD medical school (just got a motherfucking 100% back on a weekly assessment fuck yes) and it's not like you're thinking. Or it isn't if you're thinking of it like most people do. And I'm reading your OP and it makes me think that you don't have a realistic idea of the field.


It's rewarding though. You're going to have to let go of your ideas of social hierarchy if you want to have a good time. You've also got to be able to take bullshit on the chin from attendings and pts and bullshit lectures and arbitrary testing standards.

It's sort of like a service industry job + actual power in the employer/employee dynamic and a lot of technical knowledge. And higher stakes.

Good luck OP

>>42668933
You don't have to go that hard on the MCAT to do well.

If you've got to study like it's a fulltime job for 510+ you're going to be miserable in medical school. it will be above your head 80% of the time.

>>42669123
Yeah I guess pharma isn't a great example here because of all the school involved.

I guess I meant "fall ass backwards into a stable career", I think you've got a good thing going; something stable to keep the lights on while you search for something more appealing and long-term.

>>42667148
Why no CPA exam? I'm literally studying for it right now and it seems like a good way to go so far.

>>42669143
Not a med student so I'm just spreading shit I've heard from pre-med seniors getting into medschool.
I've always thought they went too hard and stressed themselves out far more than necessary, I've seen girls cry at getting 8/10 on a weekly quiz before.

Doing project management, any tips?
Hope to go into construction and then possibly finance

>>42669128
Lol what medical school has graded "weekly assignments". Cmon bro. Not fooling anyone

I don't love accounting. Tax doesn't bother me but balance sheets and income statements, meh.

Also tax attorneys make a killing $$$. When a tax matter gets too complicated for a CPA he calls a tax JD.

>>42669171
Haha I appreciate your mission. Yeah the shittiness of premeds made me really doubt whether I should enter this field, thank god they don't accept anyone who comes across like "cries at getting an 8/10 on a weekly quiz."

I mean you can bullshit your way through a DO interview but you can't a midlevel MD and up in my opinion. They recruit assholes from the hospital to be rude or invasive and put interviewees on their heels and see how they react. They'll give you bullshit tasks and see how you do them with a sense of humor. It's a sound process.

And once you're here it's a whole different ballgame. Like imagine those girls crying at an 8/10 (who I fucking hated dealing with and practically turned me into a recluse from pre-medicine clubs and volunteering in my premed years), and imagine the type of dr you'd want to have. Huge contrast.

Dental school is the better deal these days. No residency, straight to making 300k. It's way more expensive though, like 75k a year tuition, while med is 55k.

>>42669187
It's "competency based assessment" my brother.

>>42669246
dentists making 300K cracks me up. Try barely scraping 110 after a couple decades.

It is really easy work though.

>>42669211
Yeah if I had more time/opportunity I would have considered law school. I do know a family friend who is a dual CPA/estate planning lawyer and apparently he makes a killing and doesn't really do much although hes getting close to retirement.

>>42669266
Where the hell are they only making that much? With their own practice? You can drill teeth for one of those big shit dentist companies and they'll pay you big. They are shady though.

Personally taxes are lame as fuck. Busy a few months a year doing mind numbing fill-in-the-blanks bs returns.

I do regulatory reporting. But that is nothing but BS & Income statements....well 400+ pages of support for them, but same idea.

>>42669235
I'm actually geochem so I had to deal with mostly premeds in chemistry, some were cool but the majority were awful.
I always assumed that the 4.0 students weren't going to make it because their study habits, while lengthy and dedicated they were not good.
I remember a couple premed students asking how long I studied for an organic chemistry exam, when I said 3 hours their jaws dropped.
"How do you remember every mechanism and reaction in only 3 hours!?".
They were memorizing every single fucking step in every reaction mechanism, instead of learning what made reactants react they just remembered it.
Took them 20+ hours to study for a single exam because they had no idea what understanding material was.
A girl was crying about a B+ on an exam and the prof replied "good, maybe if you fail a class in undergrad you won't kill yourself when you realize you can't be perfect in medschool".

A couple guys were chill and would study the right material and wouldn't have their ego shattered by a B+, I'm assuming they'll make it because a doctor isn't supposed to be that high strung.

>>42669294
>Or I'll just do urology because of my last name
please tell me it is Johnson.

>>42669324
Geochem. That's a field for actually intelligent people if I ever heard of one.

There's all kinds of doctors but the best ones work well on a team, are wrong ALL the time and fix themselves rather than tripping on ego (which kills pts all the time), and understand the value of competency over "authority."

Good docs are nonjudgmental and laid back. They take time and listen to people and don't judge. Pt tells you 80% of what you need to know when they first meet you.

A lot of the stick-up-ass premeds from my school went to first-year DO schools and I weep for their future patients. But they're gonna be doctors too so it's hard to talk about doctors like they're some kind of homogenous groups. When looking for a doc for yourself or someone you care about look for someone who went to a top residency. and don't go to anyone with a DO after their name unless they went to a legit residency, you can look up rank lists for specialty online.

>>42669325
I know a guy that went to a urologist named Dicktapper just because of his last name (I don't know how it's spelled but that's its pronunciation) even though there was another a lot closer. Unsurprisingly, he was the most successful urologist in the state.

>>42669364
Some premed students I know are intelligent but fucked up their freshman year so they are going DO, hope it works out for them.
Locally there's a surgeon who doesn't work with others and her kill rate is high even on normal operations, I've heard countless stories of her killing people for routine surgeries that no one ever dies from.
She is a lesbian/muslim/woman/autist so she is impervious to anything however.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic about geochem or not but I do really like the people in it, it filters out the chemists who can't think conceptually and the geologists who can't do math or hard science.

>>42666360

I got a computer science degree and have a few years working as a software engineer in SF/Bay Area and Seattle. I make ~140K annual total comp and have standard 8 hour schedule and good work life balance.

My friend in medical school is on his 3rd year and stressing the fuck out because its hard as shit but I respect that. He'll make a lot more money than me when he is officially a doctor but the years of extra schooling plus residency is all >7 years of stress, loss of potential income, and heavy debt. I'd estimate that I'd be over a million dollars ahead of him before he actually gets a real salary.

The only thing I dislike about the software industry is that managers will try and take advantage of you if you let them so you need to put your foot down. Also, theres a lot of pajeets but they tend to stick to themselves and dont give a shit about you. I like my job but its mainly to make money so I can focus on other areas of my life that I enjoy.

Good luck still in school fags.

>>42669416

Doesnt that require 25 years working a gov job? I have friends who are high school teachers who decided to work in ghetto schools to get that loan forgiveness buts thats 25 years bro and you still have to pay interest on that 25 years. I dont know how much you're making but paying 100K if you live frugally should be doable in a lot less than 25 years.

Thinking about finance
High pay, easy to network, and a great head start in becoming an entrepreneur

Theatre degree. I genuinely cared once. I ended up focusing on light design and sound design.
Then it slowly dawns on me that I failed to develop the slightest lighting portfolio, so I may as well be untouchable now that I am a continent away from what few personal connections I could professionally leverage to work on a show.
Then it dawns on me that those skills are absolutely irrelevant, and don't translate at all to media production.
Age-old lesson learned the hard way. Do a major that you can leverage a job with, then follow some passion or interest after that.

Lifting helps. Lights and speakers don't carry themselves. Depending on the building, there's always some metal beam that you may as well use for pull-ups while you're in the catwalks.

>>42669553
This.
I graduated with an engineering degree and a good gpa, but I cant even find a job as a dishwasher let alone something in my field of study. I wish I spent more time networking. Im seriously considering selling all my shit and joining the army.

>>42669573
Better to ask the med people in here or better yet your advisor, tell the advisor you want it straight.
He got a couple B's and one C, he redid the C class and then got on the ball and got almost all A's for the rest of his undergrad and did plenty of research.

>>42669579
Seems like you got cucked because you didn't like being in a lab and reading papers.

>caring about others opinions so much

>>42669553
Meh, I am pretty much autistic and work for a household name in technology while routinely getting scouted by jobs most folks would consider reasonably high profile.

It helps if you are actually worth a damn at something worth doing.

You should go for it, they give pretty big scholarhsips. I applied in HS, but got rejected despite having near perfect SATs and all A's, so it's very competitive. However, just like with /fit/ness, we can make gains, my softs and recs were weak, so this time around I'm planning on sucking more professor cock and starting a shitty business of my own as a resume builder and money maker. From what the guys on WSO say, ivy undergrad is not absolutely necessary but helps. I'd say go for it, but you can make it from a public too. We're all gonna make it brah.

Graduated a few months ago with an information systems degree, been looking for a job since January. I've applied to 230 plus places and have done 7 in person interviews and I get told the same thing at every place "were looking for someone with more experience". I applied for 100 plus places for internships while in school and out of the two interviews for those didn't get either. I'm not even autistic or anything just no one is willing to give me a shot. Currently wagecucking in a grocery store a 1-2 days a week and doing random odd jobs in the trades. Fuck me I thought a degree and work ethic would be my ticket out of having to be a tradie or wage cuck loser.

>>42669771
Write some serious cover letters.
Challenge people in interviews with what you do know, and that you have enough experience.

First of all, don't just apply and just patiently wait for an interview. Remind them who you are, and that you're here for a job.

Granted, I hate writing cover letter too.
And more than half the time, people probably recognize them as the empty formality that they usually are.

Currently a first year podiatry student (DPM), have my BS in biochem, and an MS in biomedicine. Got accepted to a DO school, but went for DPM instead because it seems to be the least cucked doctor degree out there. You get to specialize in whatever you want, the residency is surgically based, the salary is 200K+ on average, and growth looks extremely high in the next few years.

Don't come off as hell bent on going into psychology. Schools want you to keep an open mind because a lot of students find out what they want to do like 3rd year of med school.

Also do clubs and shit. Nothing that looks autistic like anime club though. Try to do something that shows leadership like TA or tutor. Do some community volunteering that makes you look like a saint. Get a lot of medical experience by shadowing and volunteering in a hospital (separate from community volunteering). Also do research and make friends with professors for LoRs. Do all that and you'll have schools wanting to suck you dry.

They're basically doctors with less training. By law, they work under a doctor, but they do most of their work independently. It's not a bad gig. The end result is basically half the schooling and training for half the pay (you can still clear six figures though). Also, there's less responsibility on the PA's end and a lot more career options. For example, a primary care PA can get a job as a surgery PA. To contrast, once a doctor selects their career, they're stuck.

It's also good for a women that plans on having a normal family life since there's less time required.

Neurology is a branch of medicine, not research. While I'm well aware that medical doctors do contribute to research, researchers tend to do the bulk of the work with medical doctors providing clinical insight. I'm in regular communication with doctors and medical students and their knowledge of cell biology is nowhere near the depth of your standard biologist. Before we can treat Alzheimer's we have to understand the cellular processes that cause it (an area that is pretty blurred considering the high incidence of AD and other neurodegenerative diseases in the developed world).
If I was to put the timeline into order it would be something like this:
Stage 1. Neuroscientists develop an understanding of the cellular processes that cause Alzheimer's patholgy
Stage 2. Neuroscientists identify possible therapeutic targets
Stage 3. Pharmacologists develop drugs to work on these targets
Stage 4. Should pre-clinical trials be completed and drug receives approval then treatment can begin (this is where neurologists come in)

What your MCAT? PA school needs a lot of clinical experience, so you can be a lab tech, pharma tech, nurse assistant or some other low healthcare job to gain experience.

Starting my second year of chemical engineering. It's challenging but I'm enjoying it. Hopefully I get some internship/co-op experience this year since I hear that it's something employers like to see. If I can't find an engineering job after graduation and went into debt just to continue being a wagecuck, I am seriously going to consider an heroing.

Washington is one of my top schools, and also works perfect for my gf and I to move out there. She's majoring in graphic design and wants to work in the gaming industry and Seattle is really good for that.

Do you know anything about the program?

WMU, pretty good engineering school actually.

>>42679720
But honestly your school or grades doesn't matter that much. No one I interviewed with even cared. Just don't be completely autistic as an engineer and people will be tripping over themselves to hire you.

I graduated a year ago with a bachelor's in IE and I'm starting a master's in operations research now. data analysis is where it's at m8

Someone please help me. I've got a B.S. in math and a minor in physics (started off majoring in physics, then switched to math later). I graduated with a 2.5 GPA and multiple failed classes on my transcript. What half decent job can I get? I've been applying non-stop for the past year since graduation and I've barely gotten two phone interviews that ultimately went nowhere. I've been trying to focus on logisitics and operations jobs, since they seem to really like any STEM major, but obviously most STEM majors won't be looking at a job in logistics or operations, so I figured my GPA and lackluster resume wouldn't matter as much. Still no luck though.

Pls help. I'm getting ready to either kill myself or go be a mountain hermit

>protip: getting a job isn't about gpa it is about networking and experience

No hiring manager gives a shit about gpa, do you have a degree in the desired field we are seeking...yes. Great, check the box.

If you can't find a job in your chosen field, look into becoming a high school teacher. High schools always need math and science teachers.

>>42670937
I was considering this. Don't know what the fuck I want to do though

>>42674532
I've had my resume reviewed by recruiters, my unis career development center, professors etc it's well made but because I lack experience no one will give me a chance I also belonged to the IT club while in uni and put that on there as well as projects I have worked on in classes I was the leader of. I have a completely average white person name but because I couldn't get an internship while in school I'm basically fucked. I'm looking into doing some volunteer IT shit to get experience because I'm about burnt out on doing interviews and getting shit on because some other goof ball did a marketing internship or has an uncle at the place.

>>42681229

I've definitely been trying to network; linking with everyone I can on LinkedIn, talking to lots of people at career fairs, etc. Unfortunately, there just aren't that many network connections to be made when you're not either in school or already employed.

As for being a teacher, I've looked into it, and I'd be perfectly happy doing it, but I'm worried about all the extra time and money it will take to get certified to teach. Teaching at charter schools seems like it might require slightly less certification time though, but it's also difficult to find a stable, not shady charter school that doesn't wanna charge me $10,000 for a three month training program that only passes a small percentage of the people who sign up for it.

Depending on your state, look into becoming a substitute teacher. The only requirement in my state is 60 college credits, and a background check.

If you can get into a school and become a regular sub. they might be able to sponsor you for an alternate route program.

Or talk to the education department at your school and get their opinion. Like I said math teachers are always in demand.

It's quite boring, but not hard work and the salary is good (for reference, I'm in my early thirties and make ~$175,000 after bonus)

>>42682377
Real question, what jobs does a phd in engineering open to you aside from teaching university?

Wouldn't you better off working in your field, not only getting salary, but resume experience. Rather than being an overly educated academic.

Started out as a freshmen tried to get into electrical engineering then when I could barely pass the first math so I switched to kinesiology. Going the clinical route going to try to get into PT school still sophomore GPA 2.6 because I dicked around but I'm serious now.

I'm leaving for Cairo in January to finish my Master's thesis research in Egyptology. After that I'll present it, get my MA, then apply to PhD programs for Egyptology. If I fail at that I can always just teach at community college or some shit, but my goal is to become a professor and (hopefully) discover the next tomb in the valley of the kings. Catch me on /lit/ and /his/ too.
