An M.S. is useful -- more useful than a Ph.D., in fact -- for many types
of non-academic jobs, such as for consulting firms, government agencies,
and many non-governmental organizations. If you want to stay in
academia, though, you might have a problem.

I am nearly finished with my Master's degree in biology (anticipated date May
2010). But, scanning the job postings from the several days I have been
subscribed to this listserv, I see two main categories: jobs for applicants
with Ph.D's, and jobs for current students. I am wondering, how often are
there actually openings for applicants who already have Master's degrees and
are not currently students? I am trying to figure out my strategy for life
after grad school, and this kind of information will help me to find the best
approach.
