I'll put in my 2 cents... I'm a third year biochemisty student. I just quit my student job of fixing fitness equipment at the university gym to accept a research position. The lab where i am currently working is studying how the physiology of cardiac muscle relates to heart disease (http://ddt.biochem.umn.edu/). I loved my old job but it was time to move on and do something meaningful. This change means about a 10 fold increase in both responsibility and time commitment with basically no increase in pay, but since when did that matter?
My advise to you...get involved in things as soon as possible. It's easy to go through your undergrad keeping up with your classes and working some meaningless student job, but you will have an extreme advantage if you get some career experience in the meantime. Find out what classes interest you and talk to your teachers. They may be able to get you involved in their research or may have great leads to other opportunities. Chances are you won't get paid at first but just being mouse in the corner will give you a great opportunity to observe lots of different things without the responsibility of getting tied down in something that you think is uninteresting. So get e-mailing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) David |
