My BS is a dual major microbiology/chemistry. I was working temp because getting in full time was hard as heck and was usually the most unwanted of jobs, production (dangerous) or quality (boring). Full time also paid less and temp pay was shit. Certainly not enough to have your own place. Spent two years getting my pay as high as possible and realized a guy with a masters was making the same as me doing the same stuff. Then you had them highering associates for little over minimum wage doing much the same lab work. That is when I got a cert and changed to tech work.
