Would Be Biologist Ben Jelen
Teen People had a ‘What’s Next in 2004’ feature in the February issue and briefly profiled Ben Jelen, who has a B.A. in biology from Rutgers University. The 24-year-old decided to ditch a career in the science lab for one in a music studio. “It’s tough for me to be passionate about science,” he admitted. “[I’d be] cleaning my test tubes, wishing I was playing guitar.”
