Issues in career progression in microbiology.
We are three highly motivated university graduates who are looking to begin careers in microbiology. We each attained a degree in a biological science discipline, one in biochemistry, one in microbial and cellular biology and one in biomedical sciences (the last gained in South Africa). However, the career obstacles we have so far encountered require us to be Olympic hurdlers. This article highlights the issues, and the advantages and disadvantages of the options open to us. We look at each career option in turn and describe the difficulties encountered.
