I signed up for a job 50k a year as a research assistant after finishing my masters of biochemistry and I can't believe work like this. Are they even human?
How can they expect me to work 8 hours a day working so hard and using my brain? I've never tried that hard at anything what the fuck?
This is slavery.

The life sciences are one of the most overworked under paid careers you could go into. You're on your feet most of the day and have to do very cerebral work on top of it. My advice is to unironically learn to code. The work is still cerebral but at least you're sitting in a comfy chair in a nice air conditioned office instead of running around a lab breathing in fumes that other places would get sued for exposing their employees to.

I worked in biostat out of my M.S, as an RA. it was usually about 70hr/week which involved presenting weekly to people across the world who have their own wikipedia pages
my pay was around 30k/y

>>50720346
Sounds like you may be trying to be productive the full 8 hours.
Remember to take regular breaks like a smoker would for fresh air, a full lunch period ect.
The first hour of every work day is actually set up and emails, you shouldnt be productive at exactly the start, there's maintenance and catchup to be done.

Work at 65% capacity unless there is an emergency then boost to 90% for the emergency period. Never actually give 100%, its a trap.
Work life balance is important, don't do over time. You may need the money, but you need your mental health more.

Remember that getting a coffee in the break room and taking a shit are to be done on company time.

As opposed to...?
Do you think food just magically appears at the supermarket? That electricity, water, and internet magically get to your home? That roads get built, mail gets delivered, trash gets taken away, feces gets flushed away into the void, for no other reason than the universe wills it?
Every modern convenience that you have only exists because there are millions of people working to enable it every single day. And even if you go full hermit and hide away in the woods, you work to grow/hunt/gather your food, you work to build shelter, you work to simply survive.
Shut the fuck up and get back into the cage.
