Still trying to figure out my options on that one. So far, I have:
-Waitress -Teach (high school biology? ick. maybe not) -Work in biotech industry (Genentech, Dupont, etc.) -Apply for a job with the CIA -Marry someone rich and be barefoot and pregnant for a few years -Work as a science writer, for Science or Nature or some such -Become a book editor (although, a degree in biochem probly won't secure me a great non-entry-level job in book editing)
But going to grad school yields mostly the same results for that list. It would be better to have a Ph.D. for teaching, for the biotech industry, for the CIA, for science writing... and I can always be barefoot and pregnant later. Or during graduate work. Lots of graduate students start families. I mean, maybe I'd have to wear shoes. But I could be pregnant. Anyway. The whole point of the post is that I don't really know what I want to do right now, and I'm weighing my options. I'm holding off on deciding at the moment. I am 20 and have the whole world ahead of me; I shall not close doors until I have determined I don't want to go through them.
