Hi guys, just wanted to get some career advice from you guys, as someone who is currently stuck in northern virginia/DC metro area. I have a BS in chem, did my MS in mat sci and research on biobased polymers, modification and material characterization. I also attempted for a PhD in Mat Sci at a diff university with similar research but dropped out because I didn't like my PI (mutual feeling) and didn't want to invest another 3 years. Work experience-wise, I had a few years of experience doing QC work at pharma and personal care and most recently in Anton Paar (richmond area) as product support. I left after two years because of a temporary work authorization renewal issue. I have a little bit of HPLC experience from grad school, but mostly in spectrometry and polymer characterization.
I have been very unsuccessful in landing interviews, much less getting one. Looking on indeed / simplyHired / LinkedIn, all I see are jobs related to tutoring, medical, forensic, IP examining, and government-contracted companies that only hire US citizens / need clearance. Rockville, MD has alot of bio sciences company, but I don't know crap about any of that DNA/virology stuff. Rarely do I see polymer science / QC chemist roles. So my question to those especially who live in the DC metro area, what sort of jobs do you guys do? What advice can you offer me to make my chemistry job hunt prospects here better?
I have been considering switching careers to tech here since they are just more plentiful and even a junior programmer pays more than a mid-level chemist. I'm definitely over my head considering this, but if possible I really want to leverage my chemistry career and not just abandon it. Thanks! Any tips/stories/inspiration will be appreciated!
Hi everyone, for a school project I need people to fill in a survey concerning a new biobased product. The survey is in Dutch and it would be of great help if people could fill it in!
Hoi allemaal! Ik ben nieuw op reddit, maar ik kreeg als tip om mijn survey hier te delen!
Ik heb een aantal mensen nodig die een survey willen invullen van ongeveer 10-15 minuten. 😁 Het is om een doelgroep op te stellen voor een biobased vlonder materiaal. De antwoorden van iedereen wordt dus super gewaardeerd, want dat geeft ons een duidelijk beeld op welke doelgroep onze advertenties moeten gaan focussen! Dit is de link van de survey: https://forms.gle/S2kF1dM6icuTCwfG6

Het zou mij en mijn projectgroep super op weg helpen! 😇

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
A play on words.
Nothing, he was gladiator.
They were cooked in Greece.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
