I'm good at writing, I just don't think I care enough to want to spend another 6 months of pain wading through my disorganised, and as I feel, pointless and inconclusive data ;)
I have noticed too, that my salary as a professionally qualified MSc now is around £45k (if I go back to diagnostic Histopath), if I get an academic post-doc, that drops to £21k. HAHA! If I made senior scientist (after 3 post-docs over 6 years, usually), that goes up to about £35k. If I made NHS lab manager, which I'm qualified to do already, I'd be looking at around £45-60k. My old lab didn't even interview PhDs for anything less than Pathology Services Manager (which there's no way I'd want to do). Just don't want to end up doomed if I do and damned if I don't.
It's lose/lose! I was hoping I'd love research, but actually, I'm a doer, not a thinker.
