I used to work with a guy who had a doctorate in physics, only for him to work in IT as it paid far more than he could ever earn with his phd!

I used to be, in fact I was a "Government Scientist", which I always find slightly worrying when you get news stories in the press about what Government Scientists are telling the country to do. hehe

These days I'm an analyst doing modelling and simulation stuff, which some people seem to class as scientist but it's definatly not a science in my view.

I did analytical (pharma) work for a couple of years after graduation, moved away from it for a couple of years for various non-work reasons. Now looking to get back into it.

A quick Q to anyone in same line of work: What are the prospects like now-a-days? I did pretty well when I was in the industry - worked hard, provided decent research, was 'noticed' and 'given opportunities' - if you get my drift.

Just want to make sure its not become a dead end career in the last couple of years!

You could get a chemistry related job that pays even better and you still get to call your customers users. winkbiggrin
