Introduction continued

To pick up where I left off, I'm a 23 year old biology major staring down the barrel of graduation with next to no prospects and a job market that continues to swan dive with every passing day. I'd like to use this blog to voice my thoughts and experiences tied into this recession and provide a running commentary on related news. Now that's not to say I won't from time to time post other things such as a song/game/etc. that's caught my eye, it's hard to stay on topic when the internet provides so many things.

 As a disclaimer these are just my views and opinions, I am not an economist, nor a political analyst, this is just how I see things.

Now on to the meat, posted below is a very interesting video from RSAnimate detailing the views of David Harvey, a sociologist, as to what led to the current crisis and why without radical reform we are doomed to repeat it. Give it a view if you have the time and sound off in the comments section below. I'm interested what other people think of this.

  6. Most of the classes are ridiculously easy. There are a couple interesting ones though such as embryology if it's available or any of the harder genetics courses. One of my favorites was my radiation biology course, that one helped make the major worthwhile.

  9. I still have a few years to graduate but I've been taking my sweet time with my degree (dropping classes, failing, just all around being a dumbass, etc). However, If I wasn't dicking around and actually graduating this fall, I feel like I would be in the exact same boat as. I have close to 30k in student loans as is and I have no idea what to expect as far as job prospects go. I guess the only thing we can do is keep trying our best. Looking forward to some more updates.

  10. Alexjsolis take my advice try for some internships talk with profs and establish good relationships with them and look into grad schools. My primary concern is staying out of the job market until it begins to recover I honestly think it's the best course right now. At least when I get out I'll be *slightly* more qualified for a position than I am now but without pigeonholing myself with a PhD and being overqualified for everything.
