As a scientist with an MBA - I'm about as analytical & objective as they come - I would be interested to see if LH would make an article along the lines of '10 reasons why not to get a science degree.' It is a tough, tough, tough, industry to be in and all too often people throw out science degrees as a solution to…

Thank you!

I'm re-posting a comment I made to another person because I feel very strongly about this issue.

No.

No.

Maybe engineering and math, but certainly not the sciences (with a few exceptions). There are far too many science majors chasing entirely too few dollars. There is a perception among non-scientists that science has lots of jobs with good money. Absolutely false. One of my industry groups, The American Chemical…

Word Wrong Pronunciation Correct Pronunciation

Ever heard of the name Geoffrey? Chaucer was around before your cousin (and that name itself longer than Chaucer).

I'm just a scientist, not an engineer so I may not fully understand what's going on here. Additionally I am a chemist with an MBA, so I must really not understand the maths.

With all of that snide stuff said, I find it interesting that the original Planet Money piece did not talk about opportunity costs. Yes, you can…

Wow, she is annoying.

Two points I would make.

I suspect the author doesn't know anybody in the majority of vocations mentioned. So much of one's professional work may require specialized software and hardware requirements, e.g. architects, car designers, physicists.

Guess I am in a tough spot. I was an analytical chemist for ~ten years, so I have the word 'analytical' all over my resume. I suppose, though, if a reasonably astute reader sees it as part of a job title or description (as opposed to some over-the-top fluffy personal statement or skills listing) they would understand…

I do not understand why Lifehacker seems to think that all of these resume tools are somehow 'better' or more efficient than just using Word.

This is crazy weird advice. I highly suspect this is a "five minute" resume, nor one that is designed well.

I think it is interesting, but I'm not sold on the value of it. Perhaps it is just my resume, but it missed several keywords & phrases in my resume that I thought would be applicable. For example it missed 'project manager' - which is a pretty common and typical role.

A few years back I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Charlie Bamforth at the annual American Society of Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) meeting in Denver. It was great; we had a week of scientists presenting all sorts of papers on mass spec, and the last keynote speech was all about beer. He had a great bit about how how…

"It's more of Google trying to develop, or in more cases, acquire services that span everything possible in the web realm, so that people do not need to venture out"

I think this is a well written rant, but the analysis of the business strategies is wrong (or just not insightful).

I absolutely agree.

I don't listen to a lot of music on my Android - mainly when I go for a run (almost always the same playlist) or just for the random podcast or music here or there.

There is a sense of irony in releasing it today during the SOPA/PIPA blackout.
