A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
The 2008 crash I got a job at a call center and was working next to a person with PhD making $10/hr.
I worked with an Indian gentleman with a MD doing basic labtech work. I have no idea why he settled for it, but it was no stress and he didn't have student debt so...
That was basically my dad, but at the meat counter at the local grocery. :(
Respect for your dad doing what he needed to do. Plus the meat counter had to have some free meat perks, right?
Yep he had a kid to feed couldn’t just sit on his pride and wait for a job in his field to materialize. So he worked that while continuing to look which did take a while.
