  • I think my dream job would be designing things that undergo growth/change. Cities, cell cultures, social networks, prosthetic organs, … . What connects all of these is problem-solving to fit specific requirements, and that they are all empirical things that have to be studied from the outside using statistics and graphs. I don’t even know what this job position is called.

    I studied 2 first years of biochemistry and 1 of bioengineering. My thinking was to study the bio stuff because I figured that design was something I could learn outside of uni. I was happy on my BioEng course but had to quit due to money.
    Unfortunately my current BioChem course is very demanding and isn’t leaving me any time to focus on my other interests. I am also beginning to lose steam and motivation, and I just want my bachelors to finally be over and done with tbh, so I can go out and get my hands busy.

    I also wonder whether straddling so many subjects, including the needed skills (like statistics, machine learning, etc.) isn’t too ambitious. They’re all skills I’d be interested to learn, but I don’t know how many people would actually end up being employed as jacks-of-all-trades in the job I describe above. What’s more, it seems like it must be a really uncommon job and I’m afraid I would struggle to find an open position like that.
