And those who can't find a job can just post-doc for 1 year in the US and start at Senior Scientist level! That's easy...<br /><br />Meanwhile, you have to stick it for 3 years for a Canadian MSc, and up to 7 years for a US PhD, excluding post-docking into your late 30s. <br /><br />"Don't waste time with education.

Grad students aren't going to move, and post-docs or PhDs likely already know the score, and don't want to come here, so what are you going to do? We don't actually want to pay people (which would have a more immediate and long-term effect but would cost us money) - we want a solution that costs someone else money.<br /><br />The problem is that most of the stable pharma jobs in Britain have disappeared, and so there's no hope for potential workers that they can make a career there. Add the government's insistence on fragging its country and you have a place and a job sector that is pretty unattractive right now. <br />Hapnoreply@blogger.com
