#i'll be at a massive disadvantage because of my lack of formal writing experience
Text
looking at job prospects in science writing (depressing), and one of them is offering $80k/year. i look at it out of curiosity. it requires a phd.
for $80,000 per year. a phd. you want someone who has a fucking phd in a life science for $80,000 per year
jesus christ we are living in the worst timeline
#like i know now that my bachelor's was useless#you can't make shit with a bachelor's in microbiology unless you go to grad school and even then it's only a little more#i thought i was making a good decision but i see now that it was a mistake. i should have fone something different.#i should have started with the idea of being a scientific journalist and fostered it then#now i don't have the resources to go back to school for a journalism degree#and even with online courses in journalism and if i can build a strong portfolio#i'll be at a massive disadvantage because of my lack of formal writing experience#and so even if i can get a job it won't pay me well because i'm not really qualified#i don't want to discourage myself but i just.#i literally do feel like that part in the game where you've finally figured out the mechanics#and now realize that you've built your character all wrong#i know that life can change but i feel like i've made everything harder for myself and have nothing to show for it#don't mind me#these tags have gotten out of hand ugh#this post was about the insanity of thinking that 80k is a reasonable salary for someone with a phd
