“Cursed is the man who has found some other man's work and cannot lose it.” – Mark Twain What is your work, anyway? Not your research project, but your work. The sort of job you’re really suited for. If you got a traditional biologist’s education, you may not be sure. Academia is a remarkably diverse world in many ways, but the kinds of roles it offers are not. Almost all biologists are trained to be researchers and teachers, although many people take on roles as administrators or writers as their careers progress. It can be very difficult to figure out what other sorts of work people make careers out of, or how you might bridge the gap between your training and these positions.
