I'm getting my masters degree in biology with a secondary concentration in business and looking for jobs in market research with energy, biotech, pharm, or CPG industries, since I have 18 months experience with CPG and pharm.

Hey, congrats Matt! Well done - from one who has been there.

I like your plan to celebrate with friends, too. Great idea!
