I am sitting here at work and I was just wondering what everyone else is going to college for. What is/was your major while in school and what would you like to do with your degree upon graduation?
I went to college with intentions of going to pharmacy school. I really wanted to get into drug research and development. So, I had no choice but to make Chemistry my major and go from there. However, in March of my senior year (of college) I decided that I didn't want to go to pharmacy school anymore. I wanted to work in the real world in a laboratory setting or something like that.
So, I graduated in May 2002 with my BS in Chemistry. I continued to work at Red Robin Restaurant until I suddenly got a call from a company who wanted me. (careerbuilder.com and monster.com are wonderful for all you soon to be grads). I interviewed...and here I sit today. I am working on a military base on a project to destroy chemical warfare agents left over from WWII. It's exactly what I wanted...nice salary, lab setting, nice people. My hours suck, 12 hour days, but I don't work everyday. So it's actually kinda cool in a weird way.
It's actually kinda cool. My best friend, favorite sister, and soon-to-be roommate (7 days) will graduate in May 2003 with her BS in Chemistry. We're two dorks when it comes to schoolwork, but we sure know how to have a great time together when the books are put away
I look forward to hearing about the other Phi Sig smarties out there. I know you exist!
LITP,
