After a lecture on jobs in biology, I find myself in another crisis. Not one of those "what will I do in the future", more of a "how can I survive with what I want to do in the future

Not a problem at all. The private medical system is a very very valid point. I -believe- that will change in my lifetime, but not even I would hold my breath waiting for it to happen. *laughs*
The guns thing is really a smaller concern outside of the big cities. In smaller towns, it's only people concerned about their ability to protect their property, and as far as I can tell, their biggest concerns are psychopaths or...I dunno...Al Qaeda knocking at their doorstep. Big cities it's dangerous though because the people who keep the guns don't teach their kids gun safety.
That, and I don't go anywhere near forests when it's hunting season.
But very valid points.
I am not positive on the scientific job market. My understanding is that most of those kinds of jobs grow from internships unless you are already very experienced. A scientist who has been working on something for a number of years and is used to leading a project should have no problem. A new, fresh-out-of-college kid would have a much harder time unless they had, for example, a few years of internship at that facility or one very similar under their belt. And I'd say you have to have a degree, regardless.
Those are just my impressions, but I think they're reasonably accurate.
