actually, I'm exploiting all the sacrifices I made for that dumb bitch of my mother parassiting her monthly divorce money. considering that I spent all my money in advocates for her and to pay the house where we are living now with my teen brothers, it doesn't seem too much to me.
I know its a jerk demeanor, but she rustled my jimmies too many times.

Sounds like the perfect job for /jp/. Just stand in front of a gate all day, hiding your presence from anyone who isn't a huge threat, and when the threats finally come by, you'll be too useless to deal with them anyway and can just show them your moves before letting them through.

Oh, and your boss is adorable as fuck. That's the most important part.

Up until recently I worked in biotech industry for a genetic eng. lab. It consisted mostly of synth'ing custom oligos, clone libraries etc for other labs.

I'm more of a protein engineer / computational bio guy now though. I work with a malarial research team; it's more gratifying than anything else I've done.

I work at a large storehouse at minus 2 degrees celcius (28F) gathering yoghurt, milk, cheese and the likes from huge aisles and putting them in my trolley.
I have a feeling that I'm not the only social failure there, if you don't count all the Polish people.

Really depends on your area/country on how easy it'll be to find work. You may need to move if biotech is not hot in your local vicinity.

If you want to work as soon as you get your bachelor's, you'll most likely be mass-applying for internships at first if you don't have contacts who can vouch for you at a certain place (many people get their jobs from having the right contacts/references). Once you get about 2 years experience down, it'll suddenly be much easier to find work, as that's a common XP cutoff.

At first when looking, it's a harsh and foreboding-looking market (in a bad economy at that). It seems kind of paradoxical that many "entry-level" positions.. require years of experience. It feels like some perverse catch-22, like "why the fuck do I need experience to get a job that's about.. getting me experience?". But, that's what internships are for; however those can be kind of sporadic even in the good biotech areas so you'll probably have to jump at every chance you get.

Also, do undergrad research. If you work for a year in a lab at school as an undergrad, some places will count that as a year's worth experience. Of course it also matters a lot what you were taught in school. If you can run gels, do colony plates, run PCR, ELISA, 454/Illumina/ABiSOLiD, and handle mice, you qualify for the VAST majority of lab tech jobs already. Thing is you might learn only a few of those techniques in school, and it's kind of a random-chance game of what lab is looking for what intern/tech who has which particular set of skills down. Looking/for starting undergrad research is intimidating as fuck at first, but once you get going you'll magically get 100x more confident in yourself and your future.

Good lord I'm all too familiar with that.

Anyways, thanks a ton for that information. I know how to run gels and make colony plates, and I've heard PCR is rather easy to run, so that mostly just leaves me with learning how to handle mice.

There's several variants of PCR. Some are as simple as putting in the reagents/fragments/taq, pushing a button, coming back a few hours later and purifying the product. Others need more careful analysis/further processing.

Knowing how to run bioreactors, protein purification procedures (for which there's many chromatography methods, lyophilisation, salting in/out etc), and doing nanomolar injections, are also good things to know, but also more specific to certain types of labs.

I'm going to sign up at my city's job center this week. Even if they don't find me a job I still get money, and I even get money by going to courses they send me to.

Really need to buy more games, and once I am done with that, figures. Fucking finally.
