Cancer biologist seeking future directio


Dear friends:  I am in mid forty a cancer biology researcher with PhD.  I am currently entering into severe career crisis because our research is supported by federal grant money which is now in severe shortage for a reason you know very well.  It is becoming nightmare for me to get any federal money to continue my research and support my salary.  If I decide to change my career from academic research them what do you think my options are?  I tried biotech company jobs with minimum success.  Can I take some courses to reshape this career crisis? Please let me know if you have any specific questions.  You can e-mail me @ pseudogene10@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Have you considered nursing or medicine?  With your background, you probably have a lot of the prereqs required to get into nursing school.  There is a true shortage of nurses now and a good time to take the plunge!  You may also consider physician's assistant, physical therapist, or even a pharmacist!

Good Luck!
