What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.*
How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs.

ReplyDeleteQ: What do the banking and big pharma industries have in common?
ReplyDeleteA: They make ungodly amounts of profit every year (approx 18%).
When you have industry that makes as much profit as one that literally creates money out of thin air, then you can hold back on sympathy for it.
A Netflix recommendation: Assault on Wall Street. Uwe Boll!
