    A glorified penpusher as I vowed never to return to research

    Compliance. I deal with GMP stuff and batch release for Novartis (pharmaceutical company) plus I will be looking into their archiving and documentation system stuff. Looks like the experience in my last job came in handy. Although I definitely intend to stay out of the laboratory from now on.

      Underemployed. I try to exist on 16 hours pay a week.

      I'm searching for a job in a new field though (hopefully getting a traineeship or such) and plan to go back to university next year as well.
      I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

        It's a real rut nowadays Skanky...you try your best but you invariably end up exploited, overworked and underutilised. Give up now, suicide is the only way

            I'm a student but I (supposedly) do that full time.

            Part-time research, basically whenever I have time.

                underemployed

                I get paid, but at less than 1/3 of what I used to make. That is the price one pays for trying to start your own company. I have decided to give up and try to return to the regular rat race.

                  Also how do you explain the poll results?

                  Home foreclosures are at a 30+ year high.
                  Personal bankruptcy is at an all-time high.

                  This is the worst since the Great Depression.

                    Proper Term

                    I believe the industry parlance for PH's job is called:
                    Pharmaco-vigilence
                    You've got to love language like that.

                      It's that bad??

                      Why are people not calling this a depression then?

                          I guess not having the money to begin my college studies makes me an unemployed person
                          I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                            I have no idea.

                              Just maybe psychological reasons -- not willing to call it what it is?

                                There isn't a "Retired" option in the poll!

                                So I'll cast my vote here:
