[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i honestly cannot imagine investing all this time in getting a PhD in a field like genetics and then throwing it all away. You say that you don't like research. Would you consider teaching? [/quote] Adjunct positions pay 20K a year, no benefits and are extremely competitive to get. OP, PhD here that switched fields...you really can't take 2 years off. In DC science PhDs are a dime a dozen. You would be the least qualified of the lot not to mention you would have no experience in healthcare or pharma to get a consulting job. That doesn't mean it's impossible, but you need to know people that know people. My advice to you is get a job first, then have another kid later. Life doesn't always come out perfectly but it is important that you get out of academia first.[/quote] May I know which field you transitioned into right out of phd? Thanks :) [/quote]
