I feel your pain. I was studying to be a chemist and worked a full summer in a lab...it was the worst job I ever had, no one to talk to, back always hurting, always smelling like chemicals...and worst of all is when you spend weeks working on one synthesis only to find out you produced nothing when you do the analysis. So frustrating!

I get it. My head just shuts down at some point.
I applaud you for doing it everyday, I only had to suffer through for 3 months...was so happy the last day!
I am generally happy whenever my one internship ends and I have those few beautiful days of rest. Currently though where I am working, atleast I'm happy with the people, they are really supportive but the amount of work is still annoying as hell. I hate this schedule. What do you do now?
At least there are nice people! Right now I work for a pharmaceutical company managing audits for regulatory agencies...literally nothing to do with my degree in chemistry lol, but it is much more fun than when I was in the lab.
I envy you. I would love to do something like that, I mean as much as I love lab time, some desk time did not hurt anybody.
Quality departments are always looking for people like us that have science degrees and are strong critical thinkers! I had no background in quality when I started, just need to know proper documentation and how to see several steps down the road. The rest can be learned on the job! You can do it, if you're really interested! Would be happy to help you if you do start down that path!
Oh my god, I would love to. Thank you so so much and I really appreciate your gesture. Where do you work by the way if you do not mind me asking. Perhaps I can keep it in mind for future prospects.
