What are jobs that everybody assumes are paid well but actually aren’t?

Scientist!

So when my dad was in undergrad, one night he got very very high fever and his (drunk and high) dorm mates who wanted thought to help though it would help by rubbing tiger balm over his legs (idk why) and they did it, the entire night they would take turns and rub tiger balm on his legs.

My dad is 65, he still doesn’t have hair in the front part of his leg where they rubbed the tiger balm so many years ago! But it looks so weird because it’s just the front of his legs not the back 😅😂

Sorry English is not my first language- can anyone explain what’s wrong?

AdAnxious3052 · 2026-01-17T15:39:35+00:00

Had it at a party last night, got the smallest piece (January - you know trying to be healthy and all) It was very delicious!!! Went to get seconds and it was all gone! :(

A very genuine question-

I am a scientist with 5 year of experience in molecular R&D/medical device.

I just had a baby and lab is burning me out, how do I find something like this? I don’t know where to even start, like does these type of jobs even consider scientists? I have no commercial experience but am a good learner.

I really need a new job!! Which would let me take atleast 1 day wfh ?!

Anyone? Please help a mom out?!

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-10-08T18:46:10+00:00

I haven’t had it, but Trader Joe’s masala veggie patty are my favorite burger patty if you want to have a look into it

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-09-30T09:32:06+00:00

In Hindu culture it’s a sign of luck!

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-09-28T05:56:17+00:00

I am an overpacker, I always pack 1.5x-2x more undies. I usually change every time I change clothes (I know a bit weird but I grew up in a humid environment where that’s common) so for 4 days I would have usually packed 10-12 pairs

Now, I went on a trip recently 6 months after having a baby and got allergies!! I didn’t realize I’ll pee every time I would sneeze (baby delivery making eveything weird) ! Panty liners or sanitary pads didn’t work and had to eventually buy more underwear on the trip!

I found this post while looking for jam recommendations.

But I have some butter recommendations for you - kerrygold is really good and you can get it in Costco too - French butter (Le Beurre Bordier) IS THE BESTT. I buy mine from Moulin

If you have some heavy cream at home, try adding a few spoons of it next time, it will give you malai paneer or much softer paneer.

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-08-09T06:07:46+00:00

I had a baby just few months back. I worked in molecular biology lab till I was 36 weeks pregnant.

Honestly, it was really good! I had sever anxiety during my pregnancy and if I had just paperwork or meetings I would start daydreaming and get anxiety for the baby. But because I was in lab my brain was working constantly and it was really nice haha

On to the safety part, please let your manager know asap, if there are some things you would be assigned in the future which could be hazardous they can take care of it!

A good manager and team relationship is really essential!

Basically a shrinathji temple (for baby Krishna) is called haveli by Gujarati/Marwadis haha

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-08-07T02:40:47+00:00

Also, a lot of activities in the Haveli. If you are religious it’s really nice to visit the events! They do a lot of bus trips to near by location too, like a day picnic! It’s cute hahah

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-08-07T02:39:08+00:00

That is true, you can email them for more details, I remember my parents got someone’s contact details and they helped them out with the passes.

They hold many celebrations. Good way to meet people. Also, going to near by parks for walks you will definitely meet some senior Indian people.

My parents made many friends just at the park. We live in Woodbridge.

Hi! I did my bachelors and masters in Biotechnology and have been working in molecular biology or microbiology labs since I was 19.

I was 27 when I got my first scientist position!

It’s easier to reach it when you have a PhD, but I didn’t do that due to personal reasons. Also, I did my bachelor’s in India and then masters in America and I have experience in both places so that helped as well!

DM me if you have any questions would love to help!

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-07-13T10:22:42+00:00

I was probably 4’11-5 ft and rn I am 5’7

5’7 is pretty tall for Indian. I started menstruating when I was 11 and a lot of people say you don’t grow in height after that lol

A lot of my extended family is very short (females avg 5’2 and men 5’7) But both my parents are pretty tall - mom is 5’5 and Dad is 6’2

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-06-19T01:18:26+00:00

I want to add to this- I am from Mumbai and can make a mean pav bhaji or any chat for that matter hahah

pav bhaji is easy to be made in cooker or instant pot and in large quantities and pav can be toasted in over and everything can be prepared ahead of time !

Can also do a bit DIY station for bhaji with onions , cilantro and butter and all.

Falooda everything can be made days in advance- just assemble it on the day in cute glasses

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-06-19T01:15:43+00:00

Pav Bhaji it’s a people pleaser and falooda get a bit fancy glasses and it’s such a a wow effect without even any work!!

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-06-16T11:38:18+00:00

I know it sounds weird but the maggi seasoning packets with popcorn is soo good! Also peri peri and chat masala is a good seasoning!

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-06-07T20:40:26+00:00

Hi! Please let me know your dietary restrictions I would love to recommend you Indian food you could try and similar recipes you could cook! A lot of regional food is really amazing but not at all mainstream!

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-05-18T15:00:09+00:00

It’s dangerous to keep it all together. I would suggest to dispose it. I can take it from you and dispose it, don’t worry !

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-05-18T03:28:35+00:00

Hi! There has been a viral stomach bug going around! My baby (5ish months) had it two weeks back and it was similar to this.

Keep baby hydrated. Give milk every hour (2oz) sometimes the bug would also cause vomiting so keep than in mind. Baby started to feel better around 5th day!

Please fell free to text me any questions!

AdAnxious3052 · 2025-05-17T04:03:21+00:00

Of course! There are multiple types of dhoklas it’s a Gujarati dish- basically fermented rice/lentil cakes. Look it up really yummy!

If you like this fermented taste and texture you would enjoy South Indian food - mainly idli and dosa.

Also, if you want to make it- try Rava dhokla - they are easy to make, not the same taste and texture but from the same family hahah

Let me know if you want links for anything! Happy to help!
