Why did I not go into biology?

>> No.8598546

It was a dead field before CRISPR/Cas9

don't feel bad anon

im kinda wanting to get into biology, is it really dead or are you just memeing?

Research fields are generally very very specific and mostly irrelevant, if you want to become a pipette monkey go for it.

>> No.8599603

The scientists that cure cancer will have worked to do so for 40k a year.

I should have gone into popsci.

>> No.8599713

>>8598478
Because you want a good job.
I have a bachelor's in biology and now I am getting a master's in computer engineering.
Maybe I will be useful someday....

Because straight biology is stamp collecting and the very successful will struggle financially in life.

The real work is done in biophys and biomed. Most biologist are not capable of expanding beyond stamp collecting

you are on /sci/ talking to a scinon about a field that is not his own, what do you think?

feels good

Tbh for the most part you are right, a lot of Bio is lab monkey based, but that is the same in all science.

Also yeah most peoples research will fall into obscurity, but again, that is the same in all science. At least in Bio if you do something cool and valuable the chances are most people will thank you for it because the applications are often buzzwords which they know about ('cancer', diagnosis', 'sustained erections' etc), as opposed to in maths or physics where most people will ask why you are getting funding at all.
