Feeling hopeless about my degree
Recently applied to 120+ jobs after pursuing a biochemistry degree from a ‘prestigious’ school and got auto denied from like 70 of them already. For context, I mostly applied to associate medical or pharma sales jobs. Or the occasional medical affairs or sales associate PRN jobs (all entry level). I have B2B sales experience and three other related job experiences. The jobs listed all said they just required a bachelor’s degree and sales experience was ‘preferred’, but I got promptly denied and didn’t even get an interview.
I feel like I wasted the last 4 years killing myself in school while everyone else lived their lives and it was all for nothing. I don’t wanna do research or go to grad school. Just thought that being a biochem major would at least give me an edge in the job market and at least help me get an entry level sales job but nope. I’m only getting callbacks from insurance salesperson jobs that I could also get with zero work experience and no college degree. Does it get better?
