Hello all,
I've been a member of this list for nearly 6 months
and would like to thank everyone for letting me pick
at your brains during this time. I need help with a
career question.
I graduated from college with undergraduate degrees in
Chemical Engineering and Zoology. After graduation, I
got a job as a software developer and have been
working with the same company for the last year and a
half doing java server-side development, DB
Administration, and GUI Development. My company is
about to go under and I've been looking for a job in
bioinformatics with no luck. I usuall get the same
responses - need graduate degree, need more IT
experience, need Biotech experience, or local
candidates only (I would live in Louisiana).
I currently have 2 career opportunities: 1) I can get
a job with an IT company doing EJB Development or 2) I
can get a job with an Energy company doing controls
(there will be software/web development associated
with the work). I'm interested in the EJB development
b/c i've never developed in a 3-tier architecture and
I'm interested in the controls job b/c I miss the
math, statistics, and flow charts. If I take one of
these jobs, I definetely want my next job to be in a
bioinformatics discipline. Any suggestions on which
would be better for my carrer are appreciated.
Thanks,
Kerr Wall
