>>12240833east texas. i mean don't get me wrong there's a lot of petrochem work here and in louisiana. it's not like i'd be out of work if i stuck with it or anything, job prospects are good. i'm just not likely to be doing biotech work or other neat stuff, likely plastics or refining or whatever. it just feels kinda lame. i was doing a biomolecular concentration, and it's neat like doing protein work and stuff is very cool, but there's just not a ton of jobs doing that, and a lot of the work force is older. i've been talking to my advisor about swapping to computer science but it feels like a bit of an ego hit, like i wasted my time doing the wrong stuff.
and yeah comp sci isn't biochem work either, but i figure there's a better chance i could do something i would enjoy with that degree, considering there are so many more jobs available.
idk i just feel sorta lost. it's been kind of disheartening talking to friends that graduated before me, and to people who have actually been in industry for 20 or 30 years.
