At this point STEM is really just TEM.

Not to mention then people take Facebook posts over your research

See they’re talking about biology. If you do grad school do it in a newer field with growing opportunities. Everyone and their mother does bio.

Or you could get a chemistry phd and actually go into industry

And you can skip most of that by working for industry, not academia

After going to college I realized most grad students are just afraid of real life not genius scientist like I thought

Become research scientist in private industry. Pull mid six figure salaries in your early 40s retire comfortably by your late 50s

stem is a bit of a mith, or academia in liberal sciences are the same in job oportunities, an astrophisics mayor has the same job ops as a philosopher

Industry was thrown out too fast. Yeah you’ll end up working with people who just graduated but your promotion potential after that entry level job is

I’m surprised becoming a doctor is not here yet. Got halfway through and couldn’t afford the 250k loan they wanted me to take out. Now I gotta serve

I’m a theoretical physics grad student & have no lab 😁 You just got to be okay with spending hours banging your head against a whiteboard

I’m doing a PhD in biosciences and even I realize the caveats of it. That’s why I’m pivoting to the data science of it because that’s where 💰💰💰

To be fair, there’s a huge standard deviation in this career. The example here is real, but not necessarily the case for all areas/regions.

Which is why I stopped at the masters. Personally I am fine not running things. Chasing grant money and looking at spreadsheets sucks

Maybe biology, in chemistry there are a ton of industry jobs

Swevan18 :
There’s a tonne of jobs in biology that don’t involve going into research, AstraZeneca and oxford nanopore offer good wages and fulfilling work

mellshoe :
That’s because it’s bio. In chem or physics there are lots of industry jobs. Engineering has even more then chem and physics

ace_of_bass :
this is a bit exaggerated on the tail end. profs def make 100k+ starting, and def over 200k as you get more senior. postdocs 50-65k. students 25-40k

blank_l00k :
Certain parts of this are accurate, much of it isn’t. If you’re a new professor at a research university you’re making $100-120k starting, if not more

if you're taking 8 years to finish your PhD, you deserve to lose money for being that slow and intelligent lmao.
