Abstract

This chapter provides an insider's story on 24 different ways to put scientific training to good use away from the lab bench and away from academia. The chapter is full of personal stories from individuals who share a strong scientific background. While these individuals ended up in an amazingly diverse collection of jobs, there are certain recurring themes that one will find in all of their stories. The first is a willingness to take a chance—to give serendipity an opportunity to work. The second is a strong streak of self-confidence—the willingness to risk falling flat on their faces. This does not mean that all went well for the authors. On the contrary, most of them faced real adversity. These adversities taught them how to build strong interpersonal relationships.
