M.Tech Biotech with 3 years research experience (PhD dropout) looking to move away from life sciences and research completely.
I realised too late that I wasn't good enough to do research and a PhD. I'm very low on confidence and employable skills, but still very high on ego(my heart won't settle for anything I perceive as beneath my intellect). I'm unable to pick up new skills like coding. I tried therapy, 3 different doctors saying the same thing, I have to start over from the bottom. What should I do?
My family isn't poor, but we are kind of broke. I've already wasted 1.5 years in unemployment. My resume sucks as I haven't done much while struggling through 3 years of PhD.
I just like consuming lots of information from a wide variety of topics.
I applied for a few AI training companies for some life science related and general tasks. I couldn't even crack those jobs. All my friends and family tell me I'm smart, intelligent and that I can do something. I just don't know what to do. I've been struggling since I finished school with my "intelligence" and confidence. I don't want to struggle again. I don't want to challenge myself too much, fail and repeat again. What kind of jobs should I look for?
