She clearly didn't understand that having a degree does not entitle one to a high paying job.

>>4063636
because a bachelor science degree aint shit. Do you have a link to her porn site?

I've seen polarizing views on the distinction between BA and BS. Some schools that offer both, there is a distinction in that the BA is less technical.

Other schools use it arbitrarily.

Where is this internet porn of which she speaks? Pics or it didn't happen.

Well, that's life, eh?

But I'm entitled to a job! I have a BA in memorization from an expensive school! Dammit, I deserve a job!

because she's a women

and also because biochemistry is a 'grey' area of the soft/hard sciences - it's just malleable, not hard like its chemistry cousin.

Wait what? Is life on murrika THAT expensive?

Third worlder here, by the way.

this thread was just on /r9k/ I think last night.

Look, those in their young 20's now were told as children by all their parents and elders that a good degree would guarantee us a good job and keep us from "flipping burgers" for a living. We were lied to. These lies left us vulnerable to a system which doesn't necessarily reward hard work. It is understandable that they are bitter; those that luck didn't smile on.

In the case of this individual woman, maybe she didn't work as hard as she could, maybe she wasted opportunities that were offered to her, but then again maybe she didn't. You don't know for sure. She may have made some mistakes for sure:

- B.A. instead of B.S.
- GPA not great (not bad either)
- has a pet when trying to work her way out of poverty

Ok, big deal. Some of us make mistakes. I feel sorry for her in any case, even if she did make some mistakes.

There are two opposing views likely to be expressed in this thread which are both incorrect:

(i) it's all the system's fault.
(ii) anyone under any circumstances can become financially successful through hard work

If you set aside all delusions and understand the balance between individual responsibility and circumstances I think you'll find that the system is broken. In a society with such prosperity, one shouldn't have to sacrifice the health and vigour of their youth by working their asses off for years just to get a job that affords them an average lifestyle. The problem here is with the education system; all of its inefficiencies and lack of compassion for students. This social structure is diseased because it no longer rewards merit in an unbiased way. It's really that simple.

$10 an hour? I knew chemistry was bad, but jeez. She causes me worry for my future job prospects.

>>4063709
Third worlder here too. I'm guessing the average salary for biochemists in America is somewhere around $6000/month.

Damn man, my shitty websites make more than $1500 a month.

>>4063718
I'm going to be a mathematician, what do the words 'job prospect' even mean?

I would very much like to rub one out to some pornstar with a biochem degree.

Where the fuck are y'all from?

1) Get internships
2) Don't party your way through college. Get a decent GPA.

And most importantly:

3) Don't go to a private/elitist school because you think that will get you a job. The only reason these schools have good statistics is because the elite go there. They not only party, they network. They might have family in the business. There may be some talent in their families that gives them an advantage over you. Their families know people in the business. Know your place

It seems that this problem is almost non-existent here in the UK (Scotland). My cousin graduated with a biochem BA from a middle-tier university 2 years ago and is now on £30000/year.

Oh also, we don't have to pay university tuition fees here.

>>4063769
BRB, Scotland

I'm pretty sure this is bullshit, all the numbers, the degree, the additional courses being taken, and the situation in general makes no fucking sense.

Except for the tuition costs

>>4063771
No joke. Maybe I should do my masters in another country.

>>4063758

I'm working on my PhD right now. I make ~1400 a month (can't complain, though, because I work 12 hours a week).

Aside from teaching, I study, attend meetings, do my research, write grants (shittiest part).

Where I live a two bedroom townhouse is 650 a month. After utilities, groceries, etc. I have about 200 dollars left a month to play with.

I can't do porn for money, she is lucky. My dick is above average, sure, but I doubt I'd make it in the porn world.

inb4 scandinavian arseholes post about their free education.

In the Netherlands we only pay 1700 per year and we get 265 for expenses (monthly). All you have to do is graduate within 10 years.
Murka, land of free to not give a fuck about your fellow countrymen.

>>4063778
There are different fees for international students, you will likely pay more than if you stayed in the country.

She did get a biochem job, she just needed to stand in line for a few years because the economy sucked. It's a growing field after all.

12 hours a week? How the fuck does this work?

I just accepted a job for 1650€ per month (after tax), full 40h/week of course ..

>>4063766
It means the bitch was too stupid to pay off her loans early. Instead she waited until the interest build up and eventually got to be $140,000. Instead of trying to pay off her loans she probably first got a car, a apartment, furniture, and a fucking dog. Then she thought that she could get a job and pay it all off. The bitch dun goof and is now whining about not being able to pay off her car loans, her rent, dog food, and other shit. She could have taken a economics class and understand how loans work before doing stupid shit.
>mfw this is what happens to all of the 99% and they are butthurt since they don't even understand how money, education, or even finding a job works.

Anyone who does anything useful at non retard level can make cash. Please tell me why not. Its pretty easy just think about what people need, and get good at an aspect of it. I cannot comprehend why she thinks she should get a job.

Lets shut down discussion at this point until the porn surfaces.

I teach three three hour sections of lab, do one hour of office hours and attend a two hour meeting for the week.

I'm a grad student; my work load is pretty typical (maybe slightly lower).

That's what I am paid to do, teach. When I do everything else I need to do, I probably put it 50 hours a week or so.

What do you teach? I've yet to see a grad student teach any science lectures.

>>4063783
Not true.
The tuition fees for international students in the UK are only marginally higher, and still massively lower than in the US. I can't speak for other countries, but most of the good colleges are in the US and UK.

Get rid of the fucking pet if you're complaining about the cost

>>4063808
But there's a fundamental difference between the two systems. Most UK and European universities are public and have lower tuition, the famous universities in the US are private and have higher tuition. Also, factoring in the costs of residence, international travel, differences in food prices, etc. you're looking at higher overall costs for international students.

If there is no demand for a certain field, don't study it. You could've picked an engineering degree. You could've gone for a vocational degree or simply become a bakers apprentice.

Say that you are able to get a job right now. Gotta get to it. Expecially when you can't get a job 2ft away from the college.

The middle class is at major risk of being replaced by technical solutions or people from developing nations who are competing more and more with the Western world. People with good to exceptional degrees are getting more and more leverage on the common folk.

The middle class is in excess, and they will know it.

Dumb woman. Why the hell would you go to private school if you're not rich or swimming in scholarships? Go to CC the first two years then public after that. We have some great public schools that are in top universities of the world. UC Berkely, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, UCLA, Michigan, etc

>>4063877
No, you have to be able to do math.

Personally my math limit is somwhere in between precalc and trig. No amount of professors of book reading will increase that. So therefore I am unfit of becoming an engineer. Which is a TON of people.

There is (save for a few medical anomalies) no such thing as a "math-person". Why do you think it's the nerdy people who score good in these fields? Because they have lots of time to study. They don't party, they don't often go out, they don't have many friends to distract them from coursework. You don't have the discipline to put all these things aside.

>>4063913
$26 per unit, now $36

But in California, Pell Grants paid for everything, at least for CCs.

In comparison, I got $5,000 for CSU school

>>4063906
What? That doesn't make any sense. If you had actually read a book on it and stoped thinking "I can't learn this" then you could have. I can guarantee you haven't read any books on any maths. The hardest part about trig and precalc is the algebra. A 10 year old could learn calculus if they knew the algebra. There is no limit to your math ability.

>>4063916
Then ask for rides and pay for gas. Make connections. If you don't you won't be successful in your career regardless.

Life advice for anyone who will listen:

you do NOT save money by carefully clipping coupons, watching your daily budget, not going out to eat etc.

These make up a small portion of your actual cost of living.

The real place to save money is on your large expenditures and commitments-- rent, car payments, student loans etc.

It is EXTREMELY difficult to finish school 50k in the hole. Don't fucking do it.

Also, live within your fucking means (No, you cannot have a new car). I'm always amazed when smart people fail to manage their money in any sensible way.

Then she could have taken her GRE and gone to grad school.


Enjoy practicing the "art" of chemistry while you get fucked in porno movies, you entitled dumb bitch. For being in the 99th percentile, she is still dumb as hell.

And she complains? a man in her situation couldn't do that

>>4064235 a man in her situation couldn't do that

A man in her position wouldn't get an Arts degree in a scientific field.

What the fuck was she thinking. She is *maybe* a step above those people who get a BA in psych. Maybe.

She spent $165,000 on a BA?

No seriously, that's fucking retarded. And a fucking lie.

My BA costed me $30,000 spread out for four years.

If you were homeless and barely surviving WHY WOULD YOU DO VOLUNTEER WORK WHILE ATTENDING SCHOOL?

>>4064282
It's entirely doable and completely retarded to get into that amount of debt. She went to a private school which undoubtedly cost many more times than a state school and probably paid all her living expenses with loans too.


Another thing I find very common with these people is a lot of them dream of helping poor people/third world countries or working for other types of non-profits. They take out 50k in loans to get a BA and end up working for a non-profit then complain that it pays shit. If you want to make a lot of money you need to go into fields that a lot of money flows through.

>>4064282
My university undergrad cost of attendance is about $40,000 per year, so it's very possible.

also, I just looked it up, Biochem is one of the most employed jobs. I guess thats for people with masters though

By the time I graduate, I will have only paid ~$25 for my degree.

Then I will go to grad school and get a stipend.

Plebs, plebs everywhere.

>>4064311

By the time I graduate, I will have paid $0 for my degree. Get on my level.

Well, still doing that internship but I'll be CEOing and making 100k a day before you know it

my roommate is employed by a pharmaceutical company and does research on the Huntington's virus. He doesn't even have his B.S. yet and is years away from completing his PHd.
So you obviously don't know shit about the industry. It is more than just having a degree, it is impressing the right people and making yourself valuable. Any intern can excel at labwork, however very few shine at understanding the nature of their research and can imagine directions to take experimentation.

>>4064525

he did an internship through some program at my university. out of all of the people in the program, he was the only person they contracted afterwards. He knew wtf he was talking about enough that they wanted to keep him around. He's still got another year of courses on his bachelors and just nailed his GRE. So if you want a job in Biochem, get an intership, and study your ass enough to be able to maintain obnoxiously sciencey conversations with people who have done it for years.

>>4064536
Yeah I was wondering that too. How do you spend 15k on a move. Fucking U-Haul man. Even then, doesn't seem like she had many things.
and yeah why wouldnt her parents let her live with them during the job search? what the fuck?
this is all bullshit man

>>4064532
Yea, I'm not a Biochem major. It isn't a virus but there is a protein associated with it. I know removing the gene associated with making the protein is fatal. What i meant was he works on the Huntington protein

.......so wheres the porn

Huntington's is caused by short trinucleotide repeats that extend themselves (CAGs). It's a tricky mechanism. Every time the polymerase copies the repeat region, it slips off, and reanneals in an incorrect location, but stays in the same reading frame (since it's a 3 nucleotide repeat). End result, the region is extended every time the DNA is copied so you get a huge stretch of glutamines that will aggregate in the cell and wreck the place when it gets translated.

I want to see her porn. She has a pretty face.

>>4064673
this

>>4064569

Well no. The gene accumulates, over generations, extra CAG repeats which screws up the normal function of the gene which fucks up your basal ganglia and all that. Just sayin' for the sake of clarification. Protein's still there but it becomes dysfunctional.

Can student loans really go from 25k to 140k in just 6 years?

Because that shit is ridiculous on its own.

So she was lucky enough to finally land a job but still bitches afterward? Typical woman.

>>4064809
no

> I didn't ask for this

What a dumb bitch.

Firstly she chose a BA degree designed only to further ones knowledge and not ones job opportunities instead of going for a BS which aims to set you up for a job.

Secondly she had enough dignity/pride to not live with her parents and become homeless but not enough dignity/pride to stop her from stooping down and do porn lol.

So basically it's some dumb whore who made poor life decisions and is now blaming her poor decisions on others.

>>4063636
Anyone from /v/ will tell you that's a troll.
'I didn't ask for this' is a clear attempt at humor on the part of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the misphrasing was to be subtle.

>graduating with a BS in Biotechnology from arguable a Top 10 tech institute in the US
>it's a fucking worthless degree by itself
>GRE scores were 96% percentile across the board, 3.1 shit GPA, but tons of lab and research experience. Don't know what to think.
>am now throwing myself on the mercy of the PhD admissions programs across the country

Seriously, it's photographs like OP's that make me fucking nervous. At least I have a chance at a doctorate though, even if it's a shit one.

Eliteuniversityfag here: my school doesn't offer a B.S. in Chemistry (my major).

Although, let's be honest: when you're discussing elite schools the difference between a BA and a BS is bullshit. I don't know which school she went to, but if it is as good as she says then this really isn't a problem for her that we should be harping on. Harvard doesn't offer a B.S. in Chemistry, for fuck's sake, and I bet they don't struggle to get hired.

tl;dr, she probably went to an expensive private college which is "elite" but does no research and only costs a ton of money. Elon, Holy Cross, etc.

>>4064886
Why would it be useless? I heard they have openings out in Cali for bachelors to do biotech stuff.

>applied to over 90 jobs
WTF? BA in Bio here, I applied to 1200 jobs across North America, got 6 interviews and nailed 2 of them. Spent almost nothing on a move. Three years later, I have a 31/hr job and have almost paid off my loan.

Bitch is just lazy
>started doing internet porn to make up
And a whore apparently, do you have sauce of her nudes?

>vet
Did she serve in the military? Don't get that part

>>4064895

Worthless may be an exaggeration, but my institute is much more well renowned for engineering programs, the biology undergraduate program isn't nearly as prestigious. Anyways, I'm looking to do research, not suck off a PhD every morning when I walk into lab.


>>4064890

As someone with close friends at Holy Cross, this is incredibly true. Paying $40k a year for a degree is History is common, but these people don't give a shit; they know that their family will be able support their horseshit regardless.

That said, research opportunities ARE available, even at Holy Cross. One of said friends has her name on 3 papers, and she's pre-med, so they're not all retarded.

>>4064909
I don't mean to call them all retarded, but if it's a small school that doesn't have a lot of research opportunities it's harder to find opportunities to research in areas which you want to do research in. I don't mean to call them all retarded; but if you're going to Holy Cross for sciences without any professional plans, you're sort of hampering your ability to succeed.

I have (non-science) family at Holy Cross. It's a lovely school for a lot of things, but I wouldn't go there for a science degree.

Physics major in graduate school here.

I'm fucking miserable at my university, and I think about dropping out and doing something else with my life, but shit like this scares me too much.

I'm guessing my BS in physics is pretty useless.

>>4064907
>1200 applications, 6 interviews
>mfw I'm leaning towards a BA in bio

Its also not about the degree, It is about the classes.

I finished my major in biology (30 bio credits, including the intro bio (6), orgo, gen chem, genetics(3), microbio(3), bio-informatics (3) requirements)

...and I finished it in junior year. Instead of proceeding to take classes in....pottery or some useless art I decided to take 21 more fucking credits.

Why? Because...
1. I can
2. Its fun
3. Its useful for lab jobs.

Speak to ANY fucking professor. ANY ONE. They will tell you the following.

1. It isn't about your GPA, it is about the classes you take.
2. Also your recommendation letters matter, so don't...be an asshole.
3. RESEARCH EXPERIENCE. Getting published or doing something noteworthy with your time proves that you are not some ROBOT, but a REAL SCIENTIST with COGNITIVE ABILITIES and REAL EXPERIENCE.

If you check the porn website she is on, you would probably find out that she thought that "Lab" meant "Dog".

>>4064907
She must have bought a pet like the retard she is. That's what I don't understand about people in these situations; why do they spend money on things they do not need, when they have no money for the things they do not.
