PhD and academics or industry?
Post Body

I'm unsure about my path going forward. I have always wanted to be a researcher but once I've learned about the work environment there (I'm from Germany) I wasn't so sure anymore. Now I've finished my masterthesis in molecular biology and need to decide. I fear that working in the industry may end up with me feeling lost and without purpose in live. If I even get a job. But working for 4 years for a phd with almost no pay to only get a contract as a postdoc for 2 or 6 months seems unreasonable. Why do people with good intentions get exploited like this?
