so my sister started her first job today as a high school grad - working under a Princeton Professor doing bio research. my job right now: working in a biotech company doing bio research.
what she learned yesterday: how to prepare LB cultures. what i do every other day: prepare LB cultures. what she is learning today: PCR. what i am doing today: PCR. i don't know whether to feel pathetic or proud that she's so young and getting such a head start. true, i'm making a few folds of money more than her (meaning she's getting paid squat) but the level of our work is basically the same. i think this only drives me even more to get my masters degree and get out of labwork asap. i really don't know how to feel. stupid or proud. maybe a little of both.
