The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand. McClintock received two offers to travel and carry out research projects. The first came from America's National Research Council. She worked at several places, including Cornell and the University of Missouri in Columbia. Later, a group called the Guggenheim Foundation provided financial aid for her to study in Germany. McClintock went to Berlin, but returned to Cornell the following year. Her skills and work were widely praised. But she was still unable to find a permanent job.20世纪三十年代对美国年轻的科学家不是一个好时代。国家正处于经济衰退时期。男性科学家还能找到工作，但女性科学家就不那么被需要了。麦克林托克接到了两份旅行并继续研究的邀请。第一份来自于美国的国家研究委员会。她在很多地方工作，包括康奈尔和哥伦比亚的密苏尔大学。此后，一组叫做古根汉姆基金会的组织为她在德国的研究提供经济援助。麦克林托克去了柏林，但之后又回到康奈尔。她的精湛技艺和工作受到广泛称赞。但她依旧不能找到一份永久工作。
