My freshman year Marine Bio seminar was just a new person from the field coming once a week to “tell us what they did” and all of them told us to not join the field unless we wanted to be working 2-3jobs to pay the bills

Having a quarter life crisis for this reason. I have a degree, experience in academia, and veterinary medicine and I make close to minimum wage. Have no way to pivot

The first thing I was told as a child when I said I wanted to be a marine biologist was “don’t do that you won’t make money” so I chose the path of ✨music✨

I grew up dreaming of being a chemist, got my degree and got a super cool job. Loved it for a year or two until I realized how expensive life is. Moved to consulting its lame but pays better. Unfortunately the cool jobs people want so they pay less

My Dad was a scientist and we were broke. Go for high paying jobs. I certainly did.

even the pharma jobs don't pay like they used to because these companies are getting a lot more H1Bs. Don't get me wrong, they're very talented scientists and I love working with these people because I learn a lot from them. But the corps use them to depress our wages.

I wanted to be an entomologist. The dream was to do fieldwork studying eusocial insects. However, I had a soccer coach who was an entomologist, and he informed me that I would most likely end up in pest control or being a peon in a lab because the kind of things that I wanted to do were only accessible to people who were already rich and could fund their own work. Harsh, but he was right.

After I graduated with my BA in marine bio research, I went looking for work that require a BA in biology or higher. They’re all starting ur pay at barely above minimum wage, one requiring a almost 2-3 hour commute just to get to the lab. Even one at NOAA required you to work/camp on a inhabited island for over 2 month for free to even be considered for that position. and fresh graduates are fighting for these positions.
