Congrats from one science graduate (biology) to another. I think about going to grad school sometimes, but I make enough money and am satisfied enough with my job to be like
Im assuming you graduated years ago and have some sort of stability in your career. These days job prospects with just a bio or chem B.S. degree are
both my sisters got a BS in chemistry. One is working forensics for the police and the other is back in school getting a nutrition degree.Im assuming you graduated years ago and have some sort of stability in your career. These days job prospects with just a bio or chem B.S. degree are

Yeah I graduated in 2004. Even now, if you can find a job in the private sector as an analytical chemist or R&D scientist you can
pretty well though. They generally require experience though. I worked two 
lab tech jobs for like $12 an hour for a year after graduation before I got put on. You won't make 100K though so it depends on what you want. Sounds like you're on the right path.

Dont take this the wrong way breh, but for the amount of work it takes to get a chem degree im not making below 60K doing forensics (im assuming, no way she makes more than that though, probably closer to 40K at best), which btw is more bio oriented and tedious as fukk running PCR all day and doing gel work. Yuck. Also, what state ya'll stay in? Georgia literally has the shyttiest job market in the country. The CDC can't hire all of us
no worries breh. I took chem 201 and instantly knew that bullshyt wasn't for me. Plus those lab classes are awful, especially the TA's that you get. We're in Kensucky, I also heard that to get chem jobs you basically have to go out of state which may have played a factor. Yea, she prob making around 40k, the cost of living here is really low though(if you're just supporting yourself), 40k isn't bad at all really but her husband makes good money anyway.Dont take this the wrong way breh, but for the amount of work it takes to get a chem degree im not making below 60K doing forensics (im assuming, no way she makes more than that though, probably closer to 40K at best), which btw is more bio oriented and tedious as fukk running PCR all day and doing gel work.

Well congratulations. But you should pursue a career that you have a genuine interest in not for the 6 figures. Otherwise you'll end up being miserable.

It went well. GPA was like 3.6-3.7. Took a couple classes this semester that had me like
@newworldafro I hear you about making it work for me. Exactly what I been doing. I'm using my professors for recommendations and their facilities to learn some skills. Ill use this to get into pharmacy school, get some capital, pay off bills, then maybe one day invest in some pharmaceutical drugs or even be involved in making one
The drug game is poppin. All these research universities are all just companies using students as highly motivated free labor basically to conduct research and make breakthroughs that can be marketed or sold.
........hmm
this whole posts sounds very similar to what someone said to me before........
what does your first name rhyme with?

sohh nobody here has tried to apply to any medical programs(RN,MD,PT, PA, D.O.,DDS, AuD etc)I thought being black and having a 3.4+ GPA was practically a shoe in....

JBone4eva;4037175]I also just got accepted into a graduate program in Pathologists' Assistant Sciences, I'm also curious about the thread starters workload relative to undergrad.
Keep me updated on how your program goes as well.
Congrats breh. I didn't know your program existed until reading your post. After searching it on google, it seems like something I would have definitely considered. Good luck in your future endeavors.
Good to hear that its easier. The studies don't scare me as much as time management. Im wondering in I'll be able to hold a job while in school and still put in enough work to get high marks and good connections.
Keep up the good work by the way.

That was my plan while in college. I the premed stuff like shadowing physicians and getting clinical experience. Thats when I realized that it may not be for me. Sometimes I can see myself as a doctor then there's times when I can't. Then I also wonder if I'm about that med school life just to hate the career later on.
yeah I feel you bro. I mean if you're still a young cat, it's definitely a hard decision to make, because it's essentially like throwing away the rest of youth(early to mid 20's) to get focused on a probably under appreciated career that requires a lot time, energy and focus...
Not to mention, not every patient will necessarily be receptive to the presence of a minority Dr.
W/e you decide to do, good luck with your future endeavors. Either way, the black community needs every advanced degree holder possible...
