it's happened again. I'm to be laid off and unemployed for the 4th time in my career on April 16th. The first 3 times I was laid off, it happened 3 years in a row on the same day each year. this time it took almost 5 years to get laid off. bottom line, biotech related research is NOT a field into which i recommend anyone try to make a living. the pay is crap and the job security is non existant. In the U.S.A anyway, where the war effort is absorbing all government spending such that the NIH funds only 10% of grants, even university jobs are not safe. maybe it's time to change career paths. i was a damn good pizza delivery driver, back in the day... |

maybe this is the time to present a big 'fuck you' to your country and get the fuck out while you still can. |

That definitely sucks! At least you can seek comfort in that you're not getting laid off because your skills are bad if it's a budget cut / keep seniors on kind of thing. |

yeah, i'll get to collect unemployment insurance which will probalby work out to about half of my current salary. It will be a little less than going to work but paying for childcare. so.. ya i'm not too worried. i just really hate the whole job hunt thing. |

If I had my time again I'd be a joiner. All you have to do is raise your hand and someone will give you a job @ £50k a year! |

try and do the same in canada. it's probably better for scientific research up there. |

do you feel the need to work? |

working sucks if it's not in an interesting and stimulating field of your interest |

ya, i need to work to pay da bills. i've started sending out my C.V. to a few places. haven't heard anything yet. bioscience isn't something I am totally in love with, but i don't hate it. it's at least interesting and even, at times, exciting. but if i could make money watching movies or making music or something, of course i'd prefer that. i guess i'll look into jobs in those fields too while i'm on my job search. maybe turn some of my netflix movie reviews into proper full length reviews and submit them to the local paper... ya why not? |

you can always play irresponsible. |

you mean like just hang off the government teet, until i'm forced to ween? that does sound tempting. |

Do 'er up, that would be a swell little gig to land, between jobs breeding mutants or reanimating corpses or whatever it is you bioscientists do. |

Come to Sweden. You can live off of cheap meatballs. |

"Hanging on the goverment teet" won't make you happy in the least bit, its there if you need it for a short time to help you get back on your feet. Your wife and your daughter trust that you will be the man that you need to be. Live is full on unpredictabilities and stuggles. Good luck friend. |

You only have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power -- he's free again. - Nobel Prize-Winning Author Alexander Solzhenitsyn, In Politics |
