Would you recommend your career/job to another— friend or family member? Why or why not?

No. Low pay, not enough gratitude for doing it. The work hours are flexible enough to fit around childcare though, so it currently works for me.

No! Work on that novel! Go all in on Powerball tickets! Have you considered hooking? Nah really it's fine, it just is not for me personally. None of it is. I kinda wish I had gone into something more creative, I would be a lot poorer but less miserable

It's not for everyone but I like corporate environments. So of that's your jazz, go for it.

Well the benefits are is there is a lot of development and training required - which can be great for people with a desire to learn. However, it is a very self-motivated task and the struggles include individuals behaviours as well as corporate cultures.

grad school in the sciences? I will almost always encourage people to get an M.S. because doing so in STEM is usually paid for, and opens many doors job/career-wise. but you have to be really careful about where you go. if you go to a school with a shitty community where faculty don't treat you like a whole ass person, it'll be hell. as far as a PhD goes, while it is also paid for in STEM, it closes many doors. you will overqualified for many jobs. so don't get a PhD unless you absolutely know what you want to do with it. because a PhD is usually hell anyway regardless of the community
