Biotech is really fucking interesting. My microbio class had a lot of lectures focused on the derivation and application of transgenic species as well as community genomic mining. Enjoy creating a GMO that'll start the new world regime of mutant zombie chipmunks. I will enjoy serving under the once cuddly, pudgy-cheeked overlords. Pipe dreams aside, best of luck to ya dude. | ||

Many people follow this unwritten guide that you need to move to where the work is, find out where the highest salaries for a specific job is. Im just the opposite. I live where i want to live. Granted, if you enjoy living where the highest paid salaries are then more power to you. If your going to get up every single day of your life and hate where you live, but are making a bunch more money doing that job.. well then it isnt worth it in my opinion. Move to where you want to live (but be reasonable). Find a job over there before you do and in the mean time work something here to get some experience and to save money. Dont let money or work dictate who you are, where you live, or how you live. Where there's a will, there's a way. Ill sacrifice 25-30k average yearly salary in a heartbeat if it means no NYC winters, no potholes, beach whenever i want, palm trees, warm weather, sunshine and warm rain (A.K.A. Florida). Living is cheaper, taxes are cheaper, gas and cars are cheaper. Tolls are like 50 cents depending where you go which can add up to no more then $2.00 on your longest round trip commute to work. Compare that to many people i know who spend $20+ a day in tolls not including gas prices. Then potholes ruin suspension and tires only adding more to the maintenance cost. Not to mention much unneeded stress. Then people who live a bit north who spend $390/m in train fare just to get to the city + $200/m for parking privileges. Others who take buses to get to work spending $70+ a week. It all balances out in the long run for the average Joe. I rather "balance it out" somewhere nice. Fuck NYC. I could care less how much more money i could make. /endrant On a more helpful note... 4 years of college nowadays is just a security net to help keep your job. Your gonna start low and gonna have to work your way up to good pay. But that little paper you now have will open many more doors to better opportunities. what is this toll you speak of? |
