Not happy with my current job

Hi everyone, I need some help and advice regarding my current situation. I am a recent graduate and work in the lab since a few months. I am not enjoying it, and the pay is very low as well. I want to change my job but it is difficult since I am after office/admin based jobs but have more experience working in the lab. I do have previous office experience and really enjoyed it but it is not recent.

My background is in Biomedical Sciences and I also have a MSc. I want to continue working in the scientific field but away from the lab. I have a few options in mind including working for pharmaceutical companies or in medical communications as a medical writer since I enjoy writing.

Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas for me about what I can do? Many thanks!

    Could you explain further? I like to try to learn from posts on this board, but this one has me stumped! (Google suggests Quatar Petroleum....)
    I was a board guide here for many years, but have now resigned. Amicably, but I think it reflects very poorly on MSE that I have not even received an acknowledgement of my resignation! Poor show, MSE.
