College Major, Age, Occupation, Salary

What is it that you do for work? What polymerase do you use? How many thermal cycles would you employ?

Current work focuses on biofuel, use variety of polymerases- mainly Taq, and as for how many cycles, that number is going to vary depending on how much recombinant DNA I want.

Yeah that was good, unfortunately I was being truthful. But I have averaged 2:40 in marathons so I got that going for me.

If you want to get into numbers, my MCAT score is also 41.

I was just pointing out that stating you have a female D1 scholarship quality PR tells us next to nothing. I personally knew girls on a Big 10 team that didn't make the top 7 on their HS team that were on scholarship coming into freshman year.

That was asked earlier

cuz people couldnt lie about it being reminded every time they used bathroom

Call me a jerk, but I'm still not really convinced. How did you manage to obtain that job? Also how does your work relate to biofuels? I'm actually currently working on an admittedly failing project involving the use of zooplankton to harvest algal oil.

There is a whole lot of bullshit going on here.

For anyone in the Finance/Financial Service industry, there is no way you are making 300K+ when you are only 25. Lets hear some real numbers

It happens quite often. Driven I-Bankers that made VP, successful traders, successful sales people etc.

NO...

Wall Street is not the same anymore for one

But for a 25 year old to get that type of money they either had to be in sales (financial advisor/stock broker) which is about million gross (unlikely for a 25 y/o) or gotten very luck trading from home and it prob would not happen again the next year.

Even an IB at 25 is usually 22 with degree comes in as an analyst then off to B school

or they go right to B school and done at 25--not going to get 350K as an associate first year.

^ This. Straight out of school you would be an analyst making 70-120k depending on the market. If you graduated with an MBA (very common on sell-side), you would be an associate and probably making 90-150k. A trader could make that kind of coin but considering the market the last few years, unless you have a crystal ball, I seriously doubt it.

Agree. I'm an executive director at a major investment bank and can tell you for a fact that in this market, a much, much smaller percentage of people than you would think are bringing home 350k+.

I literally know of zero first year associates bringing anything close to that kind of money home.
