[ENDED] Recently graduated and thus felt the need to make some GAs [LV1+]

The heat is brutal everyone right now. Glad to hear you're having a great time, though! I remember really enjoying the sausage stands, as silly as it sounds.

Ohhh, jullie zijn langs beide steden gegaan? Lekker! Ik had het dan verkeerd gelezen, want ik dacht dat je bedoelde dat Wenen vervangen werd met Praag en dat het daarom doorgestreept was :P

Ik hoor vaker positieve verhalen over Praag, maar geen idee wat ik daar zou gaan doen eigenlijk :$ Maar top dat jullie genoten hebben!

well, in this case it's family thingy, my about-to-be mother in law while not studying chemistry (she studied material engineering) ended up working most of her life as a lab chemist anyway, thus her daughter followed in her footsteps (but not rest of the siblings as both my fiancee and her brother ended going up an IT route). I think the problem with not seeing a lot of people graduating chemistry is a lack of work. Even she couldn't find a job in Poland at start, she had to migrate to Germany for 1.5 year and only when she climbed a ladder there she got employed in a polish lab of this German company. And still she has to travel 30km to work every day. We live in moderately big city (over 600k people, if you count whole aglomeration it will get close to 800k) and there was no job for her in the field at all. And if she ever wanted to switch a job it can be again very problematic, it also leads to smaller salaries, because no need to fight over employee giving him raise if there's no competition etc. Compare it to for example IT field where we can switch employer any time we want (my fiancee tends to switch every 1.5-2 years just because it's faster way to get money from competition than it is to wait for your salary to rise high enough) and you will see why not so many people pick up chemistry nowadays.
