my life is going nowhere, feel like ****.

[Lpenny]

Study both, make cyborg army, rule earth

[jujuB]

IT all the way. i chilled for 7 months, and got a job right away.

i'm looking to become a network engineer now. 85k starting pay, upwards of $100k, depending on your job and where you're at.

[DrMDPhD]

Biology seems useless unless you want to go on to graduate school or a professional school.

[Dbowens]

IT or CS 100%. Don't make my mistake

[3alaRase]

I have a BS in Biology/Chemistry; waste of time and money. No jobs. Moved into IT; got a job within 6 months. I regret ever wasting all that time, effort and money on a difficult yet worthless degree.

[MURedHawk235]

If medschool go biology of course.

IF you want to make 45-60k your entier life then stick with biology (research). However, you could get into research for private companies like P&G/pharma and make a ton of money, its just harder to get into.

if yuo want to start out making 55-60 right out of school and work up to 100+ go with MIS/IT.

I highly recommend focusing on big data somehow weather it be MIS or an architect. Companies have so much data and are starting to realize they can utilize it to help save money or sell more product by analyzing it. They either build their own analysis teams within or contract with other companies.

My wife was MIS major in college and started at 60K right out of college in 2010, she has already worked her way up to more than 100k a year. However, she did bust her ass in college and had 2 internships over the summer. She essentially manages and is in charge of directing the way big data services works within the company.

Meanwhile I got a MS in biology and currently make like 46k (However, I knew this going in but I enjoy doing research)

[MaximumCapacity]

I'm not sure what IT is since there is nothing called IT where I'm from. I just assumed it was like you know, programming/coding as in writing programs and applications on a computer nomsayin?

information technology

[MrTonedman]

Welcome to real life.

Enjoy your stay

[Eisl]

Siberia suks.. i lived there..Bangkok suks too in all honesty, but at least you can cycle cheap there.

[500hzq]

Don't go to Siberia, go to Bangkok and become a t-man and make $$$ money

No idea what a tman is but i want to be isolated and hunt for my food, do they have gyms in Siberia or should i just bring a barbell, do they let you bring barbells on planes

[Wisdom15]

I switched from Molecular biology to Engineering. So yeah, biology degrees are worthless unless getting Ph.D or going to med school.

[fatman202]

for real brah, wish i was some farmer or craftsmen in the roman empire in 200 bc

or some nomad roaming the steppes during ancient times.

hate all the chit you have to do now just to exist, before all that was expected was to grow enough food to eat and live your life.

[Eisl]

Why did you live in siberia

[coctopus]

You're 19. Many of us have felt that way at some point, usually sometime after school and getting a taste of the real world. You'll stop fighting it soon and succumb to the system. We all do.

Babysitter home with young boy and young girl. She get call parents, who are working night shift in factory asking if everything is fine. She tells them da, but the large statue of Lenin in daughter's room is unsettling.

Later, she is arrested by KGB for calling great father of motherland "unsettling". She is sent to count trees in Siberia.

Such is life in Moscow.

I can't even begin to tell you how sh*tty life really is once you have that "career".

brb most decent paying jobs people just sit in an office in front of a computer for 9 hours a day. You are right about one thing, people are not supposed to live like this.

[Eisl]

Why did you live in siberia

Born there man, now im back to Russia but in Sochi where winter olympics took place. Doesnt suck a bad as the rest of Russia, but still pretty bad.

[rubinkazan]

I'm on the same boat as OPie, failing school think ima fly over to brazillian rain forests n keep it 100 dere

I can concur. My first IT job, entry level, I made 40k. I didn't have prior experience, other that few certs and AAS.

Most biology PhD programs pay YOU to pursue the degree because you're working in a lab. You're essentially a staff/student hybrid. And yes, for the most part if want to get anywhere beyond being a lab tech you need an advanced degree for biology research. Coding is becoming more and more prevalent in biology to deal with handling large data sets, but personally I'd stick a gun in my mouth if I had to debug code every single day in an IT department.

It is true they pay you to pursue a degree but the pay is chit. Most assistantships/stipends, hell even postdoc don't pay that well. While in school you will get like 1200-1600 a month. And that is only while school is in sessions, the summer pay is pretty much nothing unless the school gives you a scholarship or your PI gives you additional support.

The national average for a post doc is just under 50k, unfortunately.

Pretty crazy that post docs/phd students who devote their life to doing research on diseases and such make so little.

For people who really enjoy doing research but want to make a lot of money, I would recommend getting a MS or phd in nursing. They can make 6 figures fairly easily while doing clinical research.

[suave2000]

Do you enjoy spending time with Llamas?

Would you relocate to Peru?

If the answer is yes to both, I may have a job for you in my ranch (no homo)
