Anon, most lab rats and TA's I've seen that "make it" to evenutally become professors or get a job at a prestigous private company like Eli Lily tend to either have valuable connections, or if female or female (male) they performed "favors". Assuming you're not female, but possible a fag, you most likely failed in attaining social capital to eventually persue a worthwhile career.
I was fucked on my luck the beginning of the year having been a laid off engineer. I eventually started using the free time to join entrepreneur groups, attend Rotary clubs, and similar groups. Eventually I sparked a connection at a local Toastmasters club that eventually got me my current job over 70 other potential candidates. If you have no social capital, you will have no "real" capital.
