I never finished my college degree, even though I l learned a lot about biology while in the many years that I studied.
Biology and Chemistry were always my favorite subjects, but during my senior year my dad got sick and died so I never finished! Eventually, I found a job working in a pharmaceutical lab, and I stayed there for nearly six years! When the lab was bought by a hospital, they only kept the staff with a bachelor’s degree or higher… I was walking around on unemployment for several weeks, before I found anything at all.
Then luckily, my new job has been fantastic. I was hired by a medical marijuana research company! They perform many weird types of research on medical marijuana and its effects.. I am currently working in a lab that is testing the effects of marijuana on dementia patients. It really fun work and I learn something new everyday. I also meet really cool patients. When I applied for the job at the medical marijuana research facility, I really didn’t expect to be hired… After all, I am nothing nothing more than a college dropout with one job. Luckily, they saw something that I didn’t. I make a really nice salary, and I also have paid vacation, medical benefits and a retirement plan. I love going to work everyday and my coworkers do not care if I graduated with a degree or not. Everyone seems to be excited to work on the research. I would be excited to make this place my home. I could absolutely see myself retiring from this place one day.
