Take a moment to consider how many stunted and rebellious cells your body is producing and hosting at this moment and...hey!...you still work! Albeit
subpar compared to the latest CPUs.
Defining microbiology/genetics strictly in terms of "computational accuracy" as per "current industrial standards" is gatespeak to begin with although I'm sure that like OSS, this wouldn't have been possible without microsoft developing a favorable market...
Find a position in a traditionally "stable" industry that has a need for your technical skills rather than the tech industry itself...in my case, eyeglasses. How often have you seen an organization that is doing well in its industry but is anywhere from technically wanting to technically crippled? Most importantly, don't pout about the illusive big bucks and prestige you thought you were promised by the tech industry.
When it comes to my job, I am the proverbial "...pig in shit"; not because it's "fun", but because my skills are appreciated when it comes to solving problems. I don't have a degree in computer science, but after learning HTML 5 years ago, I am now "the coder" of a small and capable IT department because of applicants who expected a HUGE salary for what was often a rigid skill set and a poor attitude. Even in the current climate, we're doing well enough to outsource our IT division for networking, consulting, programming, hosting, e-commerce, etc.
