St Andrews Lynx Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Broaden my search. There is more available to Chemistry PhDs than R&D positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eigen Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Go into another field with a decent fit to my skillset- web design, programming, financial analysis, etc. Or make use of any of the practical skills- electrician, electronics repair, plumbing, equipment repair. Or go back to working construction. NothingButTheRain, Quantum Buckyball, aberrant and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberrant Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 patent lawyer, consultant, many good stuff depending on the your specialization. It maybe a good idea to take a few classes that are more practical to you in the future, if you can foresee yourself where you are heading (i know a few friends of mine did this).

Some schools offer MS degree in patent law, you can become licensed patent law specialist with a MS degree. My school offers a 1-year long accelerated MBA degree...
