Anna, Joanne0012, and Anne B

Thanks for the ideas!

I have considered teaching, but I have absolutely no
experience and never was at all interested in it until
recently.  I may consider it in the future, but I
think I would like to take some education classes or
at least do some volunteer work first to get an idea
if it is something I can do or may enjoy.

I am looking into research management and would be
interested in being a lab manager, but haven't found
many openings yet.  I am also looking into a CRA
position (clinical research associate) which involves
overseeing clinical trials.  

Anna-
Yes, entomology is bugs and there are a few of us
weirdos that chose entomology around :-)   I haven't
done anything entomology related since I left school
and I actually kind of miss it!

I will check out the websites you mentioned and I have
been checking monster and bostonworks.com regularly. 
I've actually picked a few jobs to send resumes to,
just to see what kind of response I get.

I'm not really interested in pharmaceutical sales, I
don't think I'm aggressive or outgoing enough to do
it!

I'm also considering applying for a USDA job, Plant
Protection and Quarantine Officer.  It's basically
working at the airport inspecting international
shipments and flights for illegal food or produce that
may be carrying insects or diseases that we are trying
to keep out of the country.  It would actually be
putting my entomology degree to use, but I'm not sure
if I want to wear a uniform, work at the airport, and
possibly work odd hours or lots of overtime.

Once again....thanks for the input and I'm sure I'll
figure it out eveuntally!
