You could combine the two, try for a finance position at a biomedical company. It would take another page-long rant for me to summarize my experiences working for companies with failing business models. So, yes, the business side of the biotech industry is not something to be ignored.It's sad, because my passion is science and it would be a waste to throw away scientific knowledge and ability and just go to the city and steal people's money.
I did the conversion based on the current rate and promptly made this face: O_OThe starting wage would be £38 000 I don't know how much that is in USD.
You could do much worse.
If you don't make it in science, you can always go into something else that you're good at, something that will hopefully earn you a lot of money that you could in turn invest in companies or institutions that do stem cell research.
