[OneManGang]

Good job at doin what you're supposed to do, you maggot

I hope u get gang raped by a pack of stray dogs

YO stop being a crab ass nikka and get this money with me. This a motivational thread

 

[OneManGang]

That's whatsup nikkaz. I graduated with a bachelors in biology, w chemistry credits about year and a half ago. Got a decent job, but y'all making me think about going back.

*Salutes to black excellence *

Wait, Does that mean we gotta get some white girls?

What you think?

EDIT: BTW where you work and what school did you get your degree from if you dont mind me asking? Its tough to get a decent job with just a chem/bio bachelors degree

 

[Chris Mauro]

nikka gonna end up teaching chemistry at a HS somewhere

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Better than sitting home without a job! Got my bachelors degree in chemistry and now getting my masters with a focus in Medicinal Chemistry. Hopefully i'm on my way to 6 figures.

better yet.. you can one day create a virus and the only cure for it like that doctor did in Mission Impossible II. you'll be a multi millionaire

Congratulations!

Good job bro. Yea unfortunately a bachelors degree except for a few dont mean shyt these days. Got to go to the next level.

Congrats.

I've been seriously contemplating grad school myself for a while, just don't want any more debt.

 

[innocentdevil]

Congratulations you two! I start working on my bachelors in chemistry this fall.

Went to CUNY Queen College in NYC. I work as a public health inspector for the city. I was able to get the hook up from a professor at my college with a letter of recommendation and him calling someone he knew in the department after I took the civil service exam. (AKA they moved me up the list)

Looking to make like 34K-35K this year, which isn't much in the grand scheme of things. But its a lot for me, Im coming from I made 17-18K last few years each, full-time minimum wage. So learning how to manage my money on minimum wage, and not spending my money on dumb shyt I should be able to save about 20K by the end of the year. After two years provisionary, been there 7 months, I'll be making well over 50K automatic.

Also I live with my parents, so I don't have much living expenses cept car note, (07 Maxima which I bought on my own in the minimum wage days, budget your money) insurance, household cell phone bill (5 phones) and chipping in every now and then.

Best decision I ever made was staying home, everyone of my peers that rushed to move out on their own, struggling to stay afloat with rent and everything else that comes with it. Having crazy roommates, cuz aint no one living by themselves in NYC unless they caking (rent too damn high) and still end up miserable cuz they dont have money left over at the end of the month.

Look into research opportunities with private companies if you were really good in lab work and understood what really was going on in the chemical and biological reactions. Also, look in inspection companies/opportunities and quality/ safety inspection and audits. Also, check your local police department, they might have opportunities in things like crime scene investigation lab work (DNA tests from blood, evidence, gotta know/understand PCR Amp and shyt like that), and forensics/ballistics. Perks for the PD may include passes to park where ever the fukk you want. Check for companies that perform drug tests for employers like Quest Diagnostics.

Im not a bio/chem major, but stem folks should look into reu programs. Its a good look when applying for grad school or phd programs

@OneManGang

I just got accepted to masters program in Biomedical Sciences.

How has graduate school been so far? Is the work/course-load significantly tougher than that of undergrad?

 

[LordTaskForce]

i love seeing black excellence

Oh, did i mention im not paying a dime...as long as i take 18 credits a semester for like 3 semesters.

For real though, my GPA wasn't even all that. This chemistry shyt wasnt easy. I did well my upper level courses but bullshytted my first 2 years partying and playing ball. I just know i dont wanna be a bum nikka. Pharmacy school after these 2 years and im eating.

Would you mind divulging what your gpa in college was? I ended up with a 2.8 gpa by the time I graduated because I had a little too much fun freshmen and sophomore year. What's been keeping me from considering grad school is the notion that most places won't even bat an eye at you if you don't have a 3.0 cumulative.
