I never finished my college degree, but I learned a lot about biology during the three years that I studied.
Biology and Chemistry were always my favorite subjects. During my senior year, my Dad got sick and died and I never finished. Eventually, I found a job working in a pharmaceutical lab, and I stayed there for nearly 10 years. When the lab was bought by a hospital, they only kept the staff with a bachelor’s degree or higher. I was sitting around on unemployment for six months, before I found anything at all. Luckily, my new job has been fantastic. I was hired by a medical marijuana research facility. They perform several different types of research on medical marijuana and its effects.. I’m currently working in a lab that is testing the effects of marijuana on dementia patients. It’s a really fun job, and I learn something new everyday. I also meet interesting patients. When I applied for the job at the medical marijuana research facility, I really didn’t expect to be hired. After all, I’m really nothing more than a college dropout with one job. Luckily, they saw something that I didn’t. I make a very nice salary, and I also have vacation days, medical benefits, and a retirement plan. I enjoy going to work every morning, and my coworkers don’t care if I graduated with a degree or not. Everyone seems to be excited to work on the research. I would be happy to make this place my home. I could easily see myself retiring from this place one day.
