I clarified , sorry . <| sep |> But then you would just have a bunch of vanilla minions in your deck . The power of jade golems is getting them for little to no cost . It would only help in fatigue match ups which shaman never gets too . <| sep |> I am from the UK but I will go through my experience . I studied Biomedical Science as a BSc and then went on to study a PhD in pharmacology , toxicology and pharmacy an umbrella term for the doctorate I will leave with . I ' m currently doing my final corrections before submitting to the research board at the start of next year . In the U . K . It ' s quite hard to get a decent job with an undergrad degree so if you ' re serious about science then it ' s best to go into a PhD . Look into the project , look into the publication record of the prospective supervisor . It ' s as much you making sure you like the project as it is that you get offered the position . Msc gets you slightly higher than a BSc but seeing as more people have PhDs now , it will be hard to progress into being lab management or senior staff . Lecturing or teaching at university level is for people with PhDs as well . I did some teaching demonstration in practical classes . Some coursework workshops . I travelled to the US to present my work at conferences , it ' s a great opportunity to do things you wouldn ' t normally consider . It ' s a fun time but I spent 4 years on a PhD , I don ' t know if it ' s different in the US . As for careers , I knew I didn ' t want to go into post doctoral research , I ' m currently a . Pre registrant clinical biochemist with the national health service . Clinical biochemists do research in hospital labs and also liaise with medical doctors about interpreting biochemical results and informing and helping them come up with how to diagnose patients . I ' m pretty sure there ' s something similar in the US . I hope I ' ve helped a bit with alternatives if you think about a PhD . It ' s fun but there is a huge amount of work to do . Spent more time on my thesis than the lab work ! Let me know if you need any more help though !
