About me: Clinical engineering degree 4 years of bioprocess engineering working with stem cells on bleeding edge research and development. Launching products, patents, collaborations etc. $75k/ year. Health and dental. No profit sharing. No equity.

Is anyone on here in life sciences / biotechnology industry with insight on which direction to pursue within this space for a large salary. Can anyone give insight on the potentials of a career in this space financially?

Thank you for your help

Used to work as an analytical chemist in biotech for 4 yrs. Primarily in the formulations/cancer therapeutic space. Have a Human Bio degree. The only way to make more money is to get higher education or pivot into another career.

The S in stem is legit the worse letter in STEM for making money for the amount of rigor the education entails.

Unfortunately, intelligence doesn't necessarily equate to being wealthy or being treated as extremely valued despite what the education system has taught us.

Your average Software Engineer at a top tech company will probably make more than Dentists, PhD Scientists, healthcare workers, etc. The very experienced Engineers at those same companies are also making the same or even way more than doctors, lawyers, etc. On the complete opposite side, you have content creators on social media making insane amounts of money (6-8 figures) and majority of them aren't close to the same intelligence level as your very highly educated individuals.

Unfortunately life is not always fair.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
