Degree Thread

Get a degree in real estate my man, learn all the markets and shit, invest tons of money into safe investments.

Actually, just intern at a real estate agency while you're getting your sales license.

I studied... political science. JUST

I graduated with a degree in chemistry 8 months ago and still don't have a job kek muh stem degree is such a meme. It should be T with a sprinkle e. I'm just learning to program now.

Probably going to go back for a master's just to survive off the stipend so I don't have to cash out of crypto and program on the side.

>I have a bachelors in biochemistry
>shit sucks
>in a "booming" biotech town
>30 interviews with no progress

It's all a big catch 22, they all say they want more experience for a entry position, but I can't get any experience, my thesis apparently isn't enough, or the many classes I've taken.

Currently waiting to hear back for a chemist position in which I have multiple insiders speaking well of me, know the managers, have a good work history with half the people there. If this doesn't work out then I think I'm fucked.

>finding a job in biochemistry
>not getting at least an MS if not a PhD
Pick one

Currently a senior graduating in May with a Chemistry degree. Tried applying to medical school, don't think I'm going to get in, and now freaking the fuck out. Wat do with this shit tier meme degree

How many internships did you have?

source: I'm a PhD student

Awww baby alt right is upset.

>Undergrad in psych
>Master in human computer interaction

Used my years of college research experience to get a job as a usability/service designed

Already making over 100k 3 years in. Bless

Yeah, I kind of figured that out too late, but I was going homeless with no job and my significant other had to stay in school here for a few more years.

0, I got a paper published, worked at another laboratory, but nobody gives a shit unless I have HPLC, GC, UV/Vis, etc all mastered. Most of my shit was metabolism research which was mostly DNA and a little GC.

This is what other schools(than business) don't teach the students. You have to have work experience. Get an internship and learn everything, then talk about it in the interview. You will be guaranteed a job no problem.

I thought a 1 year experience would be enough, but you are right. If you're looking to get into industry you have to do an industry internship. A school experience isn't enough.

Being a PhD student doesn't give you much more authority to talk about the job market in general. Have you actually spent a lot of time looking? There are more jobs at the undergrad level by far, it's just shit tier work.

Where I live the jobs are shit at every level. Bad pay, high competition, few postings. I saw a job asking for a PhD with 5 years experience with pay at 40-60k with over 150 applicants.

The number of programming jobs posted in the city I live in is about half the number of chemistry jobs in the entire country.

Best way to become employable is to learn GC/MS and HPLC. But a lot of the tech jobs like that seem fucking brutal. They are so insanely brain dead. I actually had a job offer at a mine analyzing rock sample. The technical question for the interview was how would you make a 1 molar solution of sodium chloride? The job was basically manually crushing up ore into powder, dissolving it it in acid and analyzing it on a IC-MS all day for 1 dollar above minimum wage in a fly in camp.

Jobs like that were pretty standard for BSc level. I had applied to over 100 jobs with a custom CV for each. At that point I realized that I'd never be happy in chemistry unless I got a PhD but even then the jobs aren't great and you sacrifice a large part of your life working like a slave for basically nothing for little payoff.

I have actually been also offered a programming internship which pays more than my chemistry job offer starting in the summer if I don't do my master's. Pretty dad when I can earn more from a few months of self learning programming than an entire degree

So did I , now going to grad school for National Security Studies

go into the computer business for guaranteed 6 figures, just don't be a dumb cunt like pic related

>this

Does no one really know about real estate or is everyone trying to be quiet about it? Someone tell me so I know lol

Pursuing masters degree in computer engineering. Pure hell sitting in class getting roasted and nauseous from smelly Papeets.

I better be fucking comfy after all this pain

I know this feel.
Got my B.Sc in microbiology in December. I haven't even landed an interview. All the positions I see are some labmonkey. I'm probably going to be a wagie unless I get in on a few Apollo missions.

Don't have the marks for grad school, but I do love what I learned and I've retained most of it. But fuck, this lack of cash sucks ass. I just want to use my cryoto gains for microscopy materials.

Nice, I'm a BSEE piece-a-shit just finally getting into microcontrollers (my day job is in industrial automation). What do you like? What are you focusing on?

I can't see why anyone would do anything other than Math, CS, Physics or Philosophy.

I graduated in Philosophy in 2011 (UK).

Work in finance now.

I don't get why so many people major in business, seems worthless unless you're in like a top 20 college.

I did management information systems
basically applying tech to business
graduated friends usually end up as project managers
got a job doing cloud migrations
100% job placement at my school
77K starting

>claims to have a psych degree
>throws around ad hominems
OK then,
Alt right is also hypocrisy, what about alt left. Smell's like BS

I would rather stay in academia forever and get paid pennies for postdoc after postdoc than be an analytical HPLC monkey.

Lab work in general is fucking horrible.

t. theoretical chem PhD

Which positions? Please don't tell me surgeons.
