Hi friends! I am pretty interested in going for a biomedical sciences PhD in the States. Since I am originally from Europe I don't know much about the jobmarket over there. To be honest I am not really eager to pursue the typical academic career, meaning: PhD, Post-Doc years, becoming a university professor. Where do PhD's end up outside of academia? I am sure there are more PhD's than available faculty positions. Are there jobs in biotech or pharmaceutical (or other) companies for PhD's or do they usually employ someone with a B.S. or M.S.? Does it make sense at all to go for a PhD if I do not want to become a professor? Right now I am pretty sure that I want to leave academia. Thanks.
