[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Majoring in chemistry and math and gonna be down the biotech/biomedical route. Way too much labor saturation and low salaries. Should have just done computer or electrical engineering.[/quote]

With math, quant on WS or a genomics startup is in the cards, maybe even now. [/quote]

Nah ... My time has passed. I'm too old to learn genomic/bioinformatics techniques and all of the programming required,  or to complety change careers to get into WS. There are a lotta bioinformatics people these days, so I still think oversaturation is a problem. There are just a lot of people in the biomedical space, which suppresses salaries.

Also, WSain't gonna hire someone with no experience on the street who is middle aged.  I mean sure, I've got years of expertise in pharma and biotech, but I doubt WS would hire an old dog to be a biotech analyst or something. I also haven't done an integral in almost 20 years too, so no way I could be a quant now. [/quote]
