[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question - what should the student major in instead? Meaning they like bio, hear the feedback here, what should they do that is peripheral to bio? Chemistry? Maybe something science plus business? Thanks.[/quote] Chemistry PhD programs are typically a bit faster than anything on the bio side of the fence because you don't have to wait for cells to grow, etc. Many can finish in 5 years, with computational folks sometimes finishing in 4 years and others taking 6-8 if their research is slow. But you still need 1-2 post docs to get a good job, which will add another 2-4 years. Pay can be a touch better for chemists, as there are jobs in pharma, but also in plastics, batteries, materials, detergents, etc.[/quote]
