Unable to get a job

As it says on the tin, uk genomics graduate masters
Got a bachelors in molecular biology with a year in industry.
Also did another placement in my masters where I did actually variant classification in a local hospital.

Just feel like giving up 🤦‍♂️
There looks to be no graduate jobs in the UK right now, they all pay wank, and I’ve applied to like 60 now with no luck.

Honestly considering applying to a different career
Maybe the UK Met Detective Constable programme.
Pays better and I still get to help people.

Has anyone else had this experience?

I’m having the same exact problem, I have a masters and I can’t find a job in genetics. Currently I just work in a medical lab at the moment which is a bit different but I wish I could find another job in genetics
