Hi, basically I'm trying to find a job but indecided as to where I want to go.
I've been applying to Finance stuff in the City cos the pay is good... and I think its pretty glamourous to work there... but I've not been having much success, probably cos my background is science and I have no business/finance experience whatsoever. And am not very numerate, and not THAT interested in business/money...
So I'm thinking maybe its better to stick to science cos that's what I know. I do enjoy learning about it, but I HATE lab work... but it would be so cool to discover something new in science. But to discover without lab work? seems unlikely...
I don't know what to do!
My dream (as stupid as it sounds) is to do something amazing with my life! haha. like something worthwhile, something that contributes to society. so science fits that pretty well...
but in my past experiences of research, they've all been a lot of effort for a long time, but no reward. what if I never get lucky? and what if I go into science (like start a phd) and find out that I don't like it anymore?
