Description
Many science students find themselves in the midst of graduate school or sitting at a lab bench, and realize that they hate lab work!
Even worse is realizing that they may love science, but science (at least academic science) is not providing many job opportunities these
days. What's a poor researcher to do !?
This book gives first-hand descriptions of the evolution of a band of hardy scientists out of
the lab and into just about every career you can imagine. Researchers from every branch of science found their way into finance, public
relations, consulting, business development, journalism, and more - and thrived there! Each author tells their personal story, including
descriptions of their career path, a typical day, where to find information on their job, opportunities to career growth, and more. This
is a must-read for every science major, and everyone who is looking for a way to break out of their career rut.
Audience:
Graduate students and professionals in all disciplines of the life sciences
