I’m asking OOT because:
- I don’t have other resources
- School counselors haven’t been useful
- People are inordinately positive (in general) about pursuing dreams
- E-mailing random professionals for vague answers seems lame
- There’s a better chance for discussion here than SMP due to the dim question
Peace out.
Honestly, sometimes the market is better for guys without Ph.Ds. You can fall into the trap of being overqualified for steady laboratory grunt work. I would say don't be shy about asking random people in the field what they think. If they blow you off, okay nothing lost.
