Trying to decide on Biology PhD or a job???

If you're looking for an Ecology or Conservation job then be prepared to pay to do it (e.g. one of those 'help Orangutans in the Wild' positions that charge you £2000 for the privilege), volunteer (and earn no money) or get paid quite a low wage.

The last option is the most difficult to get because in my experience a lot of positions require prior work/field experience (more than just an undergraduate dissertation etc). Depending on your PhD project, it can give you a few years of experience of field data collection, analysis etc which might be the boost you need.

But Mr Nimrod is right in that it also depends on your career plans.

Hope that helps.

DJ Wicked, yep it's in Sheffield - it's here http://www.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&lr=&q=red+deer&near=Sheffield&radius=0.0&li=lmd&sll=53.098145,-2.443696&sspn=6.320313,8.606031&t=m&cid=53383040,-1464807,16531265443889095125&z=14&t=m

According to the AA Route Finder it's 1.6 miles from the PGFT which is a 5 minute drive, so what, probably a 20 minute walk? (Because obviously the PGFT do not condone drinking and driving)

Man I'm bored, better get back to Minitab...
