What do with a M.Sc in Computational Biology

Flee to a better country, return if things get improve.

>developed countries are also totally disrespecting scientists with their fucking time-limited contracts and shitty salary.

Could you plz recommend one?

I feel the same OP.

How do people deal with that false feeling of inferiority to doctors?

>>8291794
it is hard. From a perspective of a common soul, who does not know what the hell a biologist is doing, I would always go with my doctor. So even if the biologist is giving some valid arguments (lets say in a debate about a health issue), the doctor could just use some childish ad hominem attacks, and I would laugh about the biologists suggested stupidity.
Cause, he is a doctor - come on, he is saving lifes.

The problem is, that all of the knowledge gained from a scientist, are made public and available to everyone. And its a qustion of licence. So after a new cancer-target has been identified (after decades of hard work), the doctor can prescribe it to the patient (he is harnessing the knowledge and using his licence), without even understanding the details of how it works, so in the end...he is the hero....

I mean, it is so funny, but I have been in some debates with some people from the middle-east. In their society, a doctor is a king. But when you say, taht you are using modified microbes to produce the drugs (insulin or whatever) that their doctor is prescribing them, they are acusing you of "playing God" for "modifying microbes". Thats a devils act. But at the first sight of disease, they run to the doctor again...and praise him...the Lord and savior..

And the fact that all scientificly gained knowledge is made public is for the sake of humanity. For the society. The scientists of a society are there to make the society better, improve it, solve problems...some serious PR work has to be done there....

>yearning for praise from the general public

You are on a false path.

The true reward is the grudging respect of the five other people on the globe working in the same sub-area of your sub-field which no one outside of several dozen people on the globe has even heard of.

t. academic

(that or monetising your cutting-edge contributions)

actually, not only from the general public, but also from politics - like look at the market? the salary....I know its all demand, but the demand needs to be changed, or biologists need to get more licenses

And general public is also influencing politics....in germany for example, the green party is all against GMO. Actually they are against everything what has the term "gen" in the name. They dont even know what this is....but they are against it...and the people are voting for it....result: crop science, mordern genetics etc are banned...

What place do you live in? Canada has tons of job postings in fields like Bionformatics, Mathematical Biology and so fourth all of which list off skills like machine learning and statistics etc. As a math major, I'm tempted to go into the field in grad school but my heart is just not there. Come here if you can't get work wherever you are.

>>8291972
Huh? Where in Canada is this? We are way behind the states in terms of any kind of interesting job market. I am probably gonna move down there cause our job market is so lame :S

I know Toronto (where I live/did grad school) has like 30 hospitals downtown so it's the medical imaging center of the country if I am not mistaken. Is this where you are referring to?

>>8291972
I am in germany, but germany is dying out. Immigration is changing the job market and the demographics. So in like 15 years, science in germany will be like in the middle-east => none

>>8292056
I'm german too and I'm considering going to eastern europe (Hungary, Czechia, Croatia, etc.) to study medicine (I already have a degree).
I don't think I would come back to germany if I finish med school there...

>>8291771
Don`t know where you are from, but chicks of age 18-23 get pretty wet when i tell them that i`m doing science

>>8292056
>Germany is dying! Its a white genocide!
>Still well over 90% white

>going to shitty countries to study medicine
kek stop lying and go back to pol

>>8292173
what? The german population is dying out. Its a fact. Its not propaganda I make. I just realize and accept the facts and ask what I could do.

And 90%? yes maybe for now...but it will just change...and I mean...it is like that, so I am searching for alternatives. Thanks for your comment though

apply to burger king.
oh wait it'll be automated by then.

>I'm german too and I'm considering going to eastern europe

the only reason people do this (here in sweden it's the same deal) is because they're not smart enough to qualify to a med program in uni
