  You sound like a sure thing for bioinformatics.

  I mean, the pay isn’t great but it’s generally six figures even without a PhD

      We’re from a different era my dude. These days it’s all analysts, architects and data scientist.

      Who can’t do jack shit without guys like you.

        Architects where I work don’t have degrees, they’re programmers who have shown they understand a significant chunk of our enormous system (government IT)

        Analysts are a mixed bag. Some have relevant education, others have relevant experience

        Data scientists seem to all be appropriately degreed

      Sitting on 18k in debt. I’d actually have a car instead of half a degree and a thumbs up from ECPI. Casino would be good too.
