>phd in biology
i wonder where you went wrong, op..

Maybe your meme bio degree isn’t so great after all if you find yourself working alongside people who struggle with JavaScript

>>12507322
Yeah sure everyone has a bachelor in this but WHAT ABOUT A PHD
IT'S NOT EASY OKAY?

Smoke some weed and chill out, clearly no one gives a fuck you have a PhD, have you actually figured out anything pioneering in your field ? No, or you wouldn't be bitch posting on 4chan

Cuck

>>12507328
why dont you put that molecular biology phd to use and bioengineer some super potent weed strains and sell the patents to some weed companies

>>12507345
99% of startups fail.
There's hundreds of regulations to go through. Making a code based tech startup is easier. You need alot of capital which I first need to collect from a fucking job.

A PhD is a useless piece of paper unless you want to teach other faggots the useless information you paid to learn.

Please OP, tell us about the Krebs Cycle! Very important information!

>>12507364
Muh krebs, kek

>>12507354
well it wont be a start-up, just make it a full time hobby and see where it goes, if it fails you atleast learned something, all im saying is if you're really a molecular biologist why dont you practice molecular biology in a business minded sense

>>12507328
my cousin has the same, now works in management for a financial firm

>>12507307
this is now a citations bragging thread

>>12507377
“Molecular biology” is a meme phrase to sound important. Essentially no important biological applications deal with anything on a molecular level unless you’re into genetics. The rest is Krebs Cycle Miosis vs. Mitosis faggotry.

>>12507401
>no important biological applications deal with anything on a molecular level

there's a reason you're here and not on /sci/, you fucking troglodyte. go into a real discipline then you can complain you cocksucking normie chad.

You get used to it. Treat them as objects and obstacles. Talk to them like you would to a child. Use simple sentences.

>>12507354
Biotechs has higher exit ratios and much lower failure rates than commodity soft tech startups.

PhD in MB is like PhD in Math. Unless you pick a domain, it’s useless from a business POV. If you are already wealthy, there are so much stuff to research on MB. Look into

- Nutrigenomics / Chronic Desease management via Nutrition with applied knowledge of cellular key pathways
- Get into industrial enzymes for FoodTech
- Get into biologics drug development
- Lifecoach rich boomers / businessmen and actors on anti-aging shit via focus on cellular stress / Nrf2 pathways

>>12507952
Research doesn't really pay unless it's in the long run but it's fun to do.

>>12507920
What are the rates like exactly?

I had to take pre algebra in high school lol

Is a PhD really that useless? Which ones are useful because im thinking of getting one in a sub-field of computer engineering but its a very niche department

>>12508044
PhDs are useless unless you have autism and love science. It's fun and all to be a scientist but in the end you want to pay the bills and in the end all of humanities problems come from a lack of money

>>12507307
You're just angry that your income is the same as an illiterate troglodyte even though you think you're smarter
fact is you wasted whatever amount of years on an unemployable degree, while the troglodyte next to you didn't work nearly as hard
are you really smarter than him?

>>12507307

Wait, how the fuck did a guy like that get a job in the first place? Is it really that easy to get a job in murica? Where I live you need to actually know your shit even for entry level coding jobs.

>>12508071

>>12508049
are you saying this from experience or from what knowledge, because as a fact i know many CS/EE PhDs/MsCs get employed in good places

>>12507307
>has 4-5 publications
>no job
ya you are not at the forefront

you got a phd from a dog shit university and the publications were to dog shit journals that you should have never submitted to, because it signals something about you and your capability and your "findings"

but hey, you are at the forefront and everyone else is dumb

:)

>>12507307

Why don't you become the hero of the 21st century and create a killer virus that kills all subhumans.
You'd make the world 99% better with just one event.

>>12507407
You really think they understand the biological mechanisms of most drugs? Because they don’t...

Did the same thing bro.

I got a master's degree that I did not use one time. 6 months after graduation I was waiting tables.

The situation is really bad and no one except for the people that got fucked, seems to realize it.

Society is only gonna take notice when the housing market crashes because no one under 40 can buy a home and the student loan default rate hits 25%

>>12508174
the fuck do I know about most
dont have an autismo figure or anything, i know there's the ones that we do and the ones we don't
but for most ones that hit the market the last 10 years they're pretty well established

>>12508178
what masters did you get?

>>12508049
Exactly. Too few people understand this. They think because they perform well in school compared to peers that they are special and intellectually gifted. The people making huge advances in fields are autisticslly obsessed and motivated personally. OP is motivated by the fact that he thinks people will be impressed by his “education.” Anyone can do well in school if they put effort in: you’re just fucking learning shit that people already know...it’s sad how people don’t realize that they’ve bought into the bullshit “education” meme...AND they’ve been convinced that they’re the smart ones.

I went to a top 10 university in the US and studied biomedical engineering undergrad : my smartest and most successful professor didn’t go to high school. He was a literal genius and made millions of dollars despite not doing the “traditional education” bull shit. If you don’t have a genuine motivation to make discoveries, you’ve wasted a bunch of time and money with universities.

Bioengi here.
I took the redpill like op and i decided to quit this field forever after spending 3 years between lab rat jobs and begging for a post-doc.
I eventually quit this shit and decided to flip stuff. Learned to sell and started selling anything i could get profit from.

Result? I bought a nice beach-house and i own a 2-cabs sailing boat.
I decided to put those useless degrees to use and am gonna start my own biotechs startup for fun. Its disposable income at this point.
I put up an ad looking for a technician and guess what. People with a phd are applying to my underpaid job.

My honest advice to you is this: bite the bullet while its still early and look for something else to do. Preferably something that will generate a constant amount of shekels. You will soon realize that all degrees are useless. The only skill worth having is learning how to sell shit. Everything else is secondary.

>>12507307
Bio is garbage. Literally only need a handful of PhD to research drugs and rest are undergrad wagies filling tubes.

If this is such a big thing shouldn’t big pharma be hiring people like OP in droves instead of having him writing JavaScript like a pajeet?

>>12508666

Why don't you use that PHD of yours to think of a way to make money?

>>12507307
you will be one of those ultra salty lecturers in an university, won't you

>>12508687
He said he can’t even find a postdoc in his field.

>>12508806
it's all about who you know
if he is not in good terms with any boss at any place he's done the phd or undergrad work then he's a toxic autistic fuck, I mean otherwise he wouldnt be here, if he was sociable, had a yuuge instagram profile with lots of followers, a twitter with some anti trump retweets and a linkedin with bullshit claims he'd get it in a breeze

>>12508824
Well don’t you know everything about everything. Let me guess: you’re still in university.

>>12509091
Who do you think you are?

bio is a shit field to work in, I have a degree (not postgrad) in chem or biochem and the reality of work in that field is that you're just a pipetting machine, may as well work in a factory.

I didn't do a phd because I wasted my 20s sitting in front of a computer instead.

maybe because there isnt an abundance of these degrees around here but i cant imagine not getting a job related to this field that atleast would pay better than waiting tables

heck if you find nothing, go somewhere else, go foreign

1. Why are you trying to get a postdoc? Do you hate yourself? Just go into industry

OP, if real, you fucked up

I dropped out of my phd program and I'm having my girlfriend pay for me to live in her coed undergrad apartment

>>12510706
I'm going to get one soon, yeah, but why the rush?

I know internships are important. Are you saying that getting an internship is impossible or something?

>>12510727
smart people get fucked in this economy. because remember? "everyone is smart!" is the motto today. so if you think you're actually smart, you're "arrogant" and "not a team player"

about 4 years into my phd program I had an int. for a quantitative oriented job at a fortune 50 because I had been looking for alternatives, and the dumb HR lady said "gee, you're a real BRAINIAC"

I fucking gave up after that. they literally put 105 iq sluts in charge of hiring quants.

so, currently, I am having my girlfriend pay the rent. I buy alcohol, and invite sluts over to party

I have given up on life. it is impossible to make a living these days

>>12510767
absolutely based

>>12510767
You gave up because an HR lady called you a brainiac? 10/10 smartpilled move. Your next big move should be quitting life when someone tells you that you’re rarted.

>>12510628
>>12510683
Depends which math. Know someone who got a math phd in probabilities and worked directly after in an investment bank and hedge fund. Those who have masters in stats/probabilites/computational finance can easily get jobs as quants

>>12510683
Anything related to clinical healthcare is absolutely not a meme. The only thing is all advanced degrees are student loan rape.

>>12510824
there's more to it than that, I'm not gonna go over the entire conversation you idiot

but they put someone that couldn't even do algebra in charge of hiring a quant type person. specific to my resume is the kind of math I did, and she asked me to describe it to her, and she clearly couldn't understand ANY of it

she literally couldn't figure out the more qualified candidate if she lined me up alongside a stats undergrad. this is the reason large companies are having staffing issues you faggot

Still wasted all those years on school now that you quit your PhD program. What you should’ve done is stick with it and hope you got the internship, even if that lady was retarded. It wouldn’t have mattered if you got the job, and even if you didn’t there would be more opportunities.

>Not realizing that communicating results is literally the most important part of the job

I'll give you another hint. The whole purpose of dumb HR screener interviews is to gauge your personality. "How qualified is this person" matters way less than "Do I actually want to work with this person every single day for the foreseeable future". Maybe your job search would go better if you stopped presenting as an angry autist.

>>12510767
>so if you think you're actually smart, you're "arrogant" and "not a team player"
Not if you think you're smart, but it tends to happen if you think you're smarter than the people around you. And intelligence beyond a basic treshold isn't that important for most jobs, so not pissing off the people around you is more valuable than being very smart.

>>12511114

Did you know that a bottle of perfume costs around 10$ to make? And am talking about the premium shit, too.
Jewelry is the same, too. Its a competitive field, but you easily get a 100x markup on a single piece. Look on alibaba and other chink sites, you can get precious stones for 0.1$. Now take a look at a jewel store and see how much they are selling that shit for.

The basic rule of sales is always this: your stuff is worth as much as people are willing to pay for it. Get a shitty item, put it in a nice package, hype it up, give a couple for free to instagram influencers and boom, watch the millions roll in.

Spoken like someone who has never actually worked. Nothing ruins the workplace like a toxic personality. If you're approaching this with a perspective of "I'm going to be a huge asshole to my coworkers and I expect them to put up with that because I think I'm smarter than them", you're going to have a rough time in the professional world.

Not if your a literal genius though. I know one guy who does this but he is so fucking smart everybody just puts up with him and he isn't like that 100% of the time just most of the time. Most people who try to pull this off fail because honestly they just aren't that smart.

Fantastic. Younger anons should take notice. Cash flow or cash-cushion is king. Your genius university professor and university itself are subject to same economic forces as everyone else - pay bills and get revenue / cash-flows. Learn to sell, get cash-flows or achieve FIRE through asymmetric investments and then you can venture into “blue sky” research. Even if you are too old to chase discoveries then, generational wealth will ensure that your kids can take risk - take science as a true exploration instead of worrying about paying bills or take tennis as career. If you look in history, leaving few outliers, most of successful scientists had some kind of familial support. And by today’s economics it’s a stupidity to take science as careers. If you have 2M in bank, you are alllwed to do whatever keeepinh those money invested in blue chip dividends stock. Must read: Rich Dad Poor Dad

the fuck is a positive workplace? When each deals cost seven to eight digits and there's pressure to get it done right else the company will be forced to lay off non essentials, nobody will care about your retarded ideals about how things should be. This is where the autists belong.

>>12511803
>is getting a coding job really that easy?
Yes, if you know what to study and how to build your resume. A vast majority of people just put one or two different programming languages on their resume (and perhaps a few other random things) and call it day. These people will find it pretty difficult to even get an interview

The secret is to learn a bunch of little simple technologies related to your field. An exception is databases if they apply to you, because those are extremely important.

Pic is a screenshot from my resume. Also you said you already have a CS degree, but for those that may be reading this post that don't have a degree, get a certification instead. Almost all companies will be perfectly fine hiring somebody with a cert instead of a degree, and certs only cost a couple hundred dollars and a month or two of studying

this is true t. 30 yo boomer here no degree with a 60K biomedical job because I was likeable. I walked away initially and then they bumped up my hiring rate and threw in a hiring bonus. Told me they thought I would really contribute to the work culture. Now they pay me to eat all their protein bars and drink their organic chocolate milk.

Bro drop your email I'll forward you some of the offers I'm getting. It's nothing crazy just some quality control jobs recording product faults but since you have molecular bio PhD you could probably get somewhere internally.

So I'm not sure about lengthening your telomeres with stuff at home, but you can make your telomere length stay constant by being dead.

Wrong. You're retarded. Molecular Biology is, first off, the field which deals with 90% of what people actually fucking do all day long in labs excepting shit like radiology and other niches. Most tube work is pretty much just basic Molecular Biology with some extra stuff thrown in.

Additionally, a PhD in Molecular Biology should enable you to get a job at any sort of bio company pioneering and exploring research pathways and experimental design. Beyond the very obvious sub-disciplines involving shit like CRISPR and drug research, MB is actually a very broad field which deals with most anything labs do. Calling Molecular Biology of all things a fucking meme is stupid.

This is true too, but PhDs should get tons of lab work and that's what you should be leveraging, practical experience. Of course, none of it matters if you're an ugly smelly autist who can't interview and is too weak to apply for the shit he wants.

That's needed for a Data scientist job? I have some experience on Python, Java, PHP etc... Will try to research all of those in a span of 6 months or a year and see if i can land a data scientist job, thanks a lot

I work at a fang company as a software engineer

Everyone is smart enough to build the next big thing once they've got the basics down.

Nobody is irreplaceable.

If you're an asshole but a genius then you are going to be kicked out to make way for the person who is nice but a genius.

soft engineering is a brainlet job. obviously intelligence doesn't matter much. you can say the same thing about construction. no one thinks you need to be smart to be in construction

>>12507307
in middle of bs for electrical engineering, should be fine, right?
if all fails I might try to go for a CFA or something else afterwards

>still no postdoc or job after 5-6 months of applying

Nice larp faggot
Getting a post doc position is easier than getting into fucking grad school

You can do 10 PhD in a row if you want that doesn't mean we need PhD holder.
We need plumbers, horticultors, welders, etc.

>PhD program. What you should’ve done is stick with it and hope you got the internship

You know I really have to call bullshit on this. What the hell kind of economy is this where some guy has to spend 10 years of their life in university gaining a PhD just so they can go around begging for internships?

I realized college was a meme and stopped at an undergrad in math. I work as a code monkey now (at a similar level to the OP) though I'm not sure if my job will survive the next downturn.

As for the OP, he should just enjoy the fact that he has an easy job that pays ok, that's really all you can ask for in a job. No reason to look down on his co-workers like that.

there's plenty of reason to despise dumb people. they're the ones that created this credentialing mess that fucked up the economy for everyone

shouldve got a cs degree faggit

>>12514072
Partly yes, Partly no.

A lot of the demand for college degrees came as a result of the off shoring of blue-collar factory jobs. The policy makers responsible for doing this pushed the college meme on the rest of the Americans. It was a way to keep them placated.

part of being successful is learning the correct skills. it seems you've failed there even if you are book smart. too bad you're still a failure.

If you're working in a HW or SW development place, I feel for you...

>>12514456
yes. correct. but the people pushing hte entire "everyone is intelligent" meme need to be hanged. they've created a class of incompetent, crybaby stalins that can't even do math

there is plenty of reason to hate dumb people that can't have the humility to do trades

>please tell me the definition of a positive environment

Just don't be a negative person to the point that your negativity starts infecting other people. Consider it one of your job responsibilities.
