This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I specifically did not specialize in analytical chemistry because of this. It's relatively easy to get a job, but it's mind numbingly boring to do the same tests over and over and over.

I did physical chemistry. No jobs but at least no one knows what the fuck you can do.

(Incidentally I managed to get a job with energetic materials where my education is occasionally relevant)
