Dav: Kinases are involved in phosphorylation, right? I was |this| close to being a biology major, and at one time I knew a lot of what's in the "big book of biology" Alberts' Molecular Biology of the Cell, but since I've replaced that knowledge with lots and lots of maths. :-( 2pac: Man, I wish I could get it to work out to be paid for going to school. And you're right about it being a little bit of luck. In my opinion getting a "good" job is about 25% luck, 50% determination, and 25% skill (unfortunately). root: Go to your college's career center and see if they have any advice for you.
