Please Help Me, I'm stuck and I have no idea what to do next
I'm an undergrad, about to graduate in Bioinformatics & IT (data analysis), and I gotta say the job market is ROUGH.
I'm sure you all understand, but I wanted to ask: do any entry-level jobs nowadays have openings for bachelor's-level candidates in bioinformatics?
Since many colleges are mostly a master's level degree/PhD for this field of study, graduating with a bachelor's in this position leaves me as a small outlier. I've done some metabolomics research and have gained experience in Python, R, Linux, and Java. etc., over the 2 years I'vebeend here.
In my position, what would you recommend me doing?
-Should I seek higher education and do a master's in perhaps quant biomedicine? bioinformatics? Any recommendations?
- Should I immediately go for a MD/PHD conjoined route?
- Should I work?
- Should I cease to exist?
Please help me LOL, this block has been hitting me for a while
