A biologist, for example, might hope to create a new line of health care products. Many use special grants or family resources to establish small companies. However, given the enormous challenges in the healthcare market, virtually every nascent enterprise needs outside funding; whether from wealthy “angel investors,” venture capital, or investment from large pharmaceutical and device developers.  <a href="/naturejobs/2018/06/20/want-to-find-investors-for-your-research-idea-change-the-way-you-pitch#more-55219" class="more-link">Read more</a></p>

Job prospects for PhD candidates and postdoctoral scientists are dismal. In 2012, a study on the biomedical research workforce, conducted by the National Institutes of Health and pictorialized by the American Society for Cell Biology, showed that there is a significant number of biology PhDs in the US who have resorted to doing non-science jobs. Those who stay in science face financial penalties: one 2017 Nature Biotechnology study demonstrated postdocs, on average, forfeit 20% of their earning potential within the first 15 years of completing their PhD program.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/06/06/how-product-management-could-be-a-route-out-of-academia-for-phds-and-postdocs#more-55131" class="more-link">Read
