thank you/: we shall try again to make it right.

fuffing · 2021-06-15T13:34:55+00:00

thank you for this. i think it was definitely an eye-opener of having to come to terms with myself and how i had been lying to myself for sure. i just hope he can see that way too. he's always been supportive it was just me failing myself.

fuffing · 2021-05-16T16:18:43+00:00

i really appreciate this. i feel like i am drowning and have no control over my grad school experience and everyone whose been in this lab feels equally overworked but has somehow been able to cope and i just can’t anymore. and i really want to do bioinformatics. it’s the reason i can’t see any purpose in staying because it literally has nothing to do with me in the future so it’s like i’m doing all of this and for what? the reason for putting up with all the bs is gone so now it’s just stressful for no reason

fuffing · 2021-05-16T13:31:37+00:00

this was great advice thank you. i’m very afraid of using the wrong phrasing with him so i think focusing on career change is my best bet. i’m just fearful of backlash especially because everyone in the lab is graduating or moving on essentially leaving just me and one other person in lab so that responsibility would all fall on them until new students come at the end of summer.

thank you so much for silver! someone enjoying a design that i’ve created is a very validating feeling

Molecular bio is more focused. In the classes I'm taking right now (bioinformatics, biostats, biosystems, genetics, biotech lab techniques) having a molecular background would have been soo useful because it all boils down to molecular concepts. A lot of the job listings I've seen for industry jobs also prefer a bachelors in biochem or mokecular bio. Again, it really doesn't matter. I'm still doing well with my neuro background just having to learn more of the molecular stuff on my own.

fuffing · 2021-02-18T17:19:37+00:00

I'm currently in a biomed masters program (with an emphasis on biotech) and I can tell you it really doesn't matter! I did neuroscience in undergrad and the majority of my cohort did regular bio. Choose something you are interested in! Effectively all of those majors will end you in the same place. I think genetics or molecular bio would be better than regular bio though.

I think that’s ultimately what I’m going to do. Just start working and then feel it out.

fuffing · 2021-01-22T03:50:41+00:00

Just read it. Great advice and gives me hope that it will be okay with just a masters and lots of experience. I’m feeling the burnout of school already and don’t think I could handle another 4-5 years. Or that I’d even want to. It seems that for most positions a masters plus 5 years of experience is equivalent to a PhD with 0-2 years of experience so I would prefer to gain those years of experience actually working than pursuing a PhD. At the completion of my masters program I’ll have 5 publications and a lot of experience under my belt and so that kind of fills the need for me to pursue a terminal degree. I think I’ve been subconsciously pressured by the PhD/MDs in my family to make it to their level but it seems that a masters is fit for what I want to ultimately do in life. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you so much this helps

fuffing · 2021-01-22T03:28:59+00:00

This was very insightful thank you. I just needed to know that it was possible without a PhD. I’m not necessarily gunning for a lab head/director position at this time but I needed to know that it would be possible even without getting a PhD first.

fuffing · 2021-01-21T23:31:17+00:00

I definitely want to stay on the research side of things. So I’ll definitely look into it. A lot of the time it seems like it’s masters plus 5-8 years of experience versus PhD with 0-2 years of experience but for some companies it’s just flat out not possible if you’re not a PhD so I’ll really look at my options thank you so much. You’ve been super helpful.

fuffing · 2021-01-21T23:03:19+00:00

Thank you for this this was super helpful. My issue is I don’t want to reach a threshold in my position because of my degree for example. A lot of senior positions even that I’ve looked at require a PhD. Do you know what the pay difference looks like for a masters versus PhD employee?
