Job: Research Scientist, Biotechnology (United States)

I agree....NEVER get into life science research. Long hours, long schooling, absolutely NO promise of a job at the end of it all. And if you get one, it will not even come near the proper compensation you deserve.

Just don't. Go to those professional schools. Your life would be so much happier. Do not let your kids and cousins get into science. Do not let them get interested in becoming a scientist. Help them to go tho the professional school. Don't let them ever think about becoming anything to do with science as a job. They will appreciate your advice forever....
