Do pharmaceutical research and development posts have to be equipped with a doctor's degree?

A peaceful country and open policy have provided a better scientific research environment for our generation, enabling us to invest in drug research and development relatively better However, it is precisely because of this more open environment that we have higher requirements on all aspects of ourselves, such as technology, professional title, education and so on Technology, more or less, tends to the individual's enthusiasm for learning; professional titles, many of the hard indicators there, do not have a certain number of years, anxious and useless; and education, once entered the post, want to continue to further study, on-the-job has been difficult to solve, and if not this degree, we have to admit that it has become a hard injury for many researchers in all aspects of development, high or low, Very uncomfortable! 1 What can I do as a master? Today, for most graduates, they can really understand "what's the matter with drugs?" without reservation Few people! Entering postgraduate study involves specific research direction and more in-depth exploration We can only say that we can see the "real face" of drugs After all, most of postgraduate study is the cultivation of basic skills and the development of basic scientific research For example, for a master's degree in pharmacy and chemistry, in order to publish articles and write papers, you can't do generic drugs that are consistent with the original research For the development of innovative drugs, it's lucky to know whether the compounds you make are active at most from the exploration stage to the "compound", let alone hope to do further development of stability, toxicology, etc That's about it The master's study experience naturally determines what you will do in the short-term, or long-term after graduation, which is "continue to work hard" For a newly graduated master's degree graduate, it's not hard to give such treatment If you just graduate, the company will give you a vice president, minister, or project leader Do you dare to sign a contract? Because for drug research and development, many people who have worked for a lifetime may not understand, not to mention for a young graduate And this kind of short-term non-stop repetition of their own work, lasting for more than 2-3 years is very normal However, once you can be relatively comfortable with your work and communicate with other subjects, the dilemma of master's degree will be exposed You will find that even if you work for more than 5 years, you may not have the "value" of the newly graduated doctor, and compared with this embarrassment and powerlessness, you can't bear to "see hope"! 2 As a master, what can't you do? In the daily scientific research work, you may not find much difference between the master's degree and the doctor's degree They may all have the same reaction, the same liquid phase and the same coating and granulation Once there are any "good things" such as academic conferences, project discussions, talent plans and cadre reserves, you will deeply feel "operators" and "leaders" This difference seems to be covered with a "brand" This brand is nothing else, that is, the issue of education For this point, it is both helpless and understandable, because it is a very normal and "meaningful" thing for their own enterprises and their leaders to cultivate highly educated talents A "doctor", after all, the academic background is there, and the scientific research ability is naturally stronger than the master's degree at the same time After the experience of the doctoral thesis, the ability to resist pressure will be stronger, and it is indeed suitable for taking more responsibilities In addition, when an enterprise publicizes to the outside world, makes some lectures and assigns some tasks to the public, "Dr XX", "Professor XX" and "researcher XX" have almost become the standard configuration, or even the "minimum configuration" You play a "XX master" in PPT, even if you are really competent and skilled, it is easy to cause others' suspicion and neglect Although many enterprises in today's society always say that they only look at their abilities regardless of their education background, in order to weigh some advantages and disadvantages, many graduate students who have many years of work experience have to give way to their doctors actively or passively As time goes by, it is increasingly difficult to improve in all aspects 3 How much is the gap between master's degree and doctor's degree? For the master and doctor who have been studying in the ivory tower, usually, the doctor is superior to the master in all aspects After all, the study time is longer, the pressure is greater, and the doctoral project is more than several times stronger than the master's project no matter in depth or in breadth But if a master who has worked for 3-4 years and a doctor who has just stepped out of the campus, who is stronger in scientific research ability? It's hard to say If a master's degree, after 3-4 years of training in an industry recognized unit or enterprise with strong scientific research ability, from the perspective of scientific research, most of them are competent even if they are not the project leader, as the sub project leader of a discipline And a doctor who just graduated, even if he is very excellent, just entered the job, is to adapt for a period of time But this time is not a short-term transition, especially the kind of highly personalized "doctor thinking", which adapts to the working environment longer, and even in the eyes of outsiders, "has not adapted." Even so, in all respects, with a doctorate degree, you have to give people concessions It's just like the difference between high-speed rail and express Even if you have good performance, you can give people good comfort Once you meet the "high-speed rail" signal, you have to stop to make way There is also a big premise mentioned above, that is, the comparison of doctoral and master's degree in the same subject I believe that many "express" masters, even more unpleasant is to encounter "high-speed rail in other countries." When you have a certain understanding of drug research and development, and your work experience is gradually consolidated, suddenly a doctor from another discipline will be your boss What do you think? If this "other subject" is drug-related, if he is a "doctor of Inorganic Chemistry", "doctor of organic chemistry" and "doctor of Applied Chemistry", his previous work has nothing to do with drugs and really doesn't understand anything, what do you do? You know, it happens all the time If you meet a modest one, if you meet another one, you will be absolutely mad However, there is no way for you to.. This gap in "ability" is more disturbing, and there is no comparison 4 How to break the bottleneck? First of all, can we change the way leaders promote talents? And change the social emphasis on education? If not, then we have to start from ourselves The way to break this bottleneck and change this situation is nothing more than "yesorno" No ~ transfer Many researchers with master's degree background who have been doing scientific research for N years may choose to give up and transfer to other jobs that are conducive to their own development or their own requirements, such as BD, self media, etc., which have become popular in recent years, for the reasons of working environment, working treatment, family, etc Of course, this is not to say that BD and self media have low requirements, but that this kind of post values more achievements than education Yes ~ read blog Since you can't change the environment and don't want to give up scientific research, you can only join them, although this road is full of frustrations for a master's degree staff who has worked for many years It's almost impossible for many companies to have the patience to train doctors, and now it's so easy for employees to leave their jobs, and it's easy to marry others This kind of loss business will hardly appear It takes courage to quit and read blog After graduation, in addition to the change from student status to employee status, there is also the change from children to parents Family responsibilities are becoming more and more important Resigning to read blog is almost a willful and irresponsible thing, because your withdrawal indicates that the other half will redouble their housework For a long time, it's really our helplessness not to read blog After all, family is very important Just because of this, family is still a career Many people choose family, and they will be appointed after a long time There are so many such people What a pity! 5 It's better to change! In a word, do you want to read blog or not? YESorNO? It's hard, just like the classic line in Nicolas Cage's movie "the weatherman" ~ "there is no easy word in adult life" Since I chose to finish my master's degree and not study for a doctor, I should naturally bear today's "dilemma" However, in the face of this dilemma, without any ideas and appropriate changes, it seems that some people should not, and if this education is really the necessary hardware condition for their own work in the future, they should plan earlier Otherwise, time will not wait for me, a person is very easy to lose to time and environment Think about it Then, just do it!
