Well there were two reasons. I've always have been fascinated by biology, and while not primary, this and just about every other bio company I've seen lists it as a bonus.
This one says: "You have a passion for (or are interested in learning about) biology!"
Second though and this is part of why I'm second guessing it acts as a delaying tactic a bit. I started college 2 years early (less impressive when you realize I'm old for my grade and homeschooled), and I wasn't really thinking about career enough then. I feel like were I to graduate now I'd be on a trajectory that would never see my career developing into what I want.
But honestly you bring up a good point. Would I be better off going into the workplace and gaining some experience?
- itamarst 9y agoYes, work experience is way better than another degree. And sure, they have "nice to have" bio experience. But work at a bio-related company for two years, and now you have bio experience... and a real sense of what you really need to know. And maybe then you'll go back to school, or maybe you'll realize you don't need to.
- space_fountain 9y agoSorry for the very late reply. My worry is that the type of companies I'd like to work for don't really seem inclined to take me right now.
