PROF 39 |
| Why did you go attend graduate school? The dream of dreams is a real driver for those of us who love science, winning the Nobel Prize. We are seeking knowledge and expertise in our chosen discipline to reach this ultimate goal that can be achieved by only a select few. However, the path from graduate school is not always so well defined; many who have begun on this quest realize that there are other careers for scientists with doctoral degrees. This lecture will discuss the career paths of scientists who have left the lab and achieved rewarding business careers based on a scientific background. Achieving the “bottom line” becomes the Nobel Prize for these scientists. The lecture will tell why these scientific-business women made the changes and what motivates or drives them. |
