Just like a foid at a bar, these guys can smell the desperation on you like a cologne. Only difference is that recruiters will frick you 100% of the time and the foids never will.

Why the heck would you pay for an MBA if you're trying to find lab work?
They don't, just like normal phones don't cost 1200$. You just willingly chose the one that did.

If you have experience in real world science settings, getting an MBA can help you get on the business side of the company, which is where the money is.

If you take out loans for grad school, you're a brainlet. Either get your employer to foot the bill or be smart enough to get a teaching fellowship, skip the dedicated masters, and earn your PhD.

I was under the impression most people didn't do that out of pocket or at least when they already had insurmountable debt. When my job needed a graduate degree they subsidized night classes over a few years.

Nah, all managers at most biotech companies have PhDs first and then maybe an MBA. The typical route is staff scientist -> associate scientist -> management. Sometimes you see people who are project managers with just an MBA, but like they are never upper management.

psshhht here's a little secret: About 80% of vacancies won't be made public, but will be distributed internally or through networking. Which is why networking is so important, and why being an anti-social nerd is a big detriment, no matter your degree.

really? I see plenty of jobs for those blood, piss and shit testers.
which reminds me of a funny story that happened when I was in high school. I had to give a morning piss sample and they gave me a cup. but they didn't give me the plastic bag and I didn't know it needed one. I also didn't know that you weren't supposed to fill the cup. But oh boy I filled that motherlover and I put the cup in a paper bag and I was driving there to drop it off.
I was really careful while driving to make sure the piss cup didn't tip. I got there and parked the car and I start walking towards the building and I trip and drop the bag.
Turns out the the lid is not spill proof (stupid design for a piss cup) so I handed in a paper bag soaked in piss.

I think they mean lab work like a national research lab, like Lawrence Livermore or Los Alamos, and those jobs actually are super hard to get.

Los Alamos is easy to get into for computer scientists. They're the ones paying for my body pillow purchases. God bless the DoE for making me glow.
But they said "laboratory testing" so it's probably a
physical science

No shit it would be easy to get into, most CS majors go into the private sector and rake in the cash.

The government pays out the butt for security specialists. I'm just a grad student, but everyone in my lab makes twice as much as the grad students from other labs because we have a bigass budget that we have to spend

National labs aren't bad, I grew up around one and almost everyone from my high school grew up and worked there who stuck around and did engineering.
The problem is if you're doing chem/bio/genetics/etc. and trying to work there, because it's pretty much the only viable place you CAN work in those fields
