Hi Chemiguy,

I so understand you and many other people will not understand where you are coming from. I was a pharmacist in South Africa, and worked there for a few years. Then I came to the UK to do a PhD in formulation science which I finished last year. Currently a postdoc. Industry positions are really not that good in the UK - they are generally badly paid unless you are in sales or marketing. I think the positions are saturated. I've been thinking of applying for OSPAP, maybe the American counterpart in the future. I think it is a good thing to have your license as it gives you a secure financial base if nothing more - you can think about doing other things once you have some money.

Lets keep in touch.
Jake
