yeah, like 90% of them get pruned in chem 101 lol. The ones who don't and are passionate are cool, but the ones who are just in it for the money will likely get pruned with upper divs.

It's funny I never wanted to be in health care, wanted to do research, until I found out about clinical lab scientist jobs in california, now I'm going through a program and will work in a reference lab or hospital after. Moral is be passionate about what you do

You're wrong there. A lot of those that go into it for money are working on their second career because they originally went engineering or cs and saw that they could make 300k starting as a er doc

Everything else is inferior to pharmacy and nursing.

Not a pre-med but I did a biology - physics dual major for my undergraduate and from my experience pre-meds did the most studying and generally were on the higher end of the grade scales. Medical school is very competitive so they need those high grades.

In addition it's just undergraduate level so who the fuck cares who's in the class? They'll go onto medical school whereas you'll go into industry or graduate school.

The problem is that making friends in your university classes is important for not just mental health, but also having networks and connections so you can find opportunities.

Most majors have no problem making friends with their classmates. My university is heavy in computer science majors, and starting from freshman year they're always hanging out and playing video games in their free time.

As a chemistry major, I can't stand pre-meds and I can't relate with them. They don't share my passion for science. I've been completely friendless at university since fall 2017. I am a total incel loser and I can't find any internships or integrate well into any research groups. I genuinely fear for my future and hope I don't end up eating rats under a bridge by 2030.

I don't talk to anyone from undergraduate and I got internships through the career fair, then did grad school and got my current position through the normal online job portal. I did have some positions I could had got through contacts but I was competitive enough that I could cold apply to other companies that pay more.

Let's be honest. What opportunities are fellow undergraduates going to be able to present to you when they need jobs themselves? Especially in a hard science

No, the best hospitals are ones not run by Democrats (or at least not run by socialists). The cost of insurance in a state is a significant factor quality of healthcare.

I've heard that only like 20% of job and internship positions are advertised to the public through job postings, help wanted signs, career fairs, etc. Most go to friends and friends of friends.

I've tried career fairs and none have chemistry positions.
