<p>YOu want to stay far, far away from any career related to drug discovery. It is a highly volatile field with a ton of unemployment. Almost every single pharma company is hurting right now big time and they’ve laid off thousands of incredibly smart scientists. You’ll have to compete with scientists that have 20 years experience for the same jobs these days. Pharma is increasingly moving away from drug design based on small molecules and is moving towards biologics and gene therapy. Either way, working in any field related to drug research is terrible.</p>
