And I realized that these were just people like me. When you’re trying to put the pieces together in your transition and you see somebody who already transitioned, it’s like, what kind of God is this person who got out of academia? I started talking to them and listening to their stories. I started networking and I found other people who have transitioned. And so, I started looking at what aspects of my PhD, I enjoyed the most and bench work, wasn’t it.Īnd that’s when it clicked, I had these good communication skills and that was something I actually enjoyed, writing reports or papers or poster presentations, even my thesis. I had to contribute some way to the world and just find happiness in what I did. I started to search for other opportunities. It’s a position that can serve as a safety net for almost every PhD.
