career path question

r and d for what field?

most software companies register their main workforce as "r&D", we need more specifics.


if you tell us you are going into R&D for the coal industry i would tell you , you are stupid.
 
I've worked in R&D as an electrical engineering intern/coop for 3 years now and I would not want to work in any other department.

Not the ones I'm looking at, you just need a bachelors in a science field.

PhD isn't a must but you will be making a lot more and will be advancing in salary faster. R&D in a big pharm is a pretty solid job.

Are you saying that 6-8 years extra in school will allow one to make more money and advance faster? SHENS :Q

My dad is making 50k more than his junior who is the same age and has been working longer than him and his junior has a Masters. After 15 years of working, my dad's net income for all of his work has already exceeded his junior's net income for 17 years. From what I hear bachelors are chosen only if the position can not be filled by a masters or PhD. I guess the salary will also vary with experience, performance and what not, my dad did work with 2 noble prize professors. This is at Merck btw.
 
R&D - Researcher, Biometrics & Statistics Positions for P&G. Is that enough? I can get the job description also if you like.

R&D for big companies is awesome. I worked for a Johnson & Johnson company in the R&D department - we had the best equipment money could buy. They'd drop ~$250,000 per year on new machines for our department alone (that actually doesn't buy as much analytical equipment as you might think).

I really enjoyed my job there. I hope after I get my MS that I can either return there or another J&J Company.

For what it's worth, I've heard P&G is kind of hard to get in to. My friends applied there for co-op positions and had to take all sorts of personality tests before they could even interview.

Edit: Just because I've heard it's hard to get into doesn't mean you should try - I've heard it's a great company to work for
