is biotech worth a career after 12th?

Er...it would be better for you than being an English teacher.\n\nBiotech industries are unfortunately a growth industry and no matter what press or legislation exists it is here to stay.  Anyone working in that industry will do very well, but won't have me as a friend.  (I'm sure that won't matter to you though!)\n\nGood luck

Well, the choice is entirely up to you. What are you interested in?\n\nWould you like to pursue a career in medical sciences? choose biotech, it's a rising career.\n\nElectronics and mechanics are pretty old players of the block. You get into these through a good college, say IIT, or DCE, then you are bound to reach a rewarding place.\n\nBut the question really is - what interests you? \nBecause if you're just gonna do something just for the sake of doing it, then it wont work. because you're not gonna like it.\n\nFind out what you really want to do, and who you want to be for the rest of your life.

Well, what do you want to know?\n\nI've got a masters and worked in biotech for 10 miserable years before going back to school and becoming a programmer.\n\nThere's no money in biotech (for the actual scientists), and from what my former co-workers are finding out, there's not a heck of a lot of job stability anymore either.

Biotechnology is a vast field and has lot of scope. Jobs exist in R&D as well as for managerial tasks.\n\nDetails on BSc. in Biotechnology are available on -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nFor details on B.Tech Biotechnology, visit -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nDetails on MSc. and Phd. in Biotechnology-\n\nMSc. in Biotechnology has good career prospects. Biotech is a booming sector and the growth oppurtunities are high. The Biotech sector includes - Biopharma, Biotech, Biotech services, Bioindustrial, Bioinformatics etc. After BSc., those who want to go for research, choose MSc. and then go for Phd. On the other hand, some go for MBA-Biotechnology. Career oppurtunities for both these courses are good.\n\nAfter doing MSc. Biotech, one can join R&D dept. of any good Biotech company. US is the best destination for Biotechnology. It stands out in the field of research as well as the biotech market is much developed in the US. Similar, is the case with UK, Canada and a few EU countries. Coming to India and China, these countries are really trying hard. Australia is good study destination as well for BT studies in Asia-Pacific region.\n\nFor details on entrance exams and admission procedures as well as more career options in BT, you may visit -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nThe other career prospect is MBA-Biotechnology.

Biotechnology is a booming sector.  Look at all the pharma giants that are going to put up shop in India.  Many are coming this way.  They are looking out for people like you.  I think you should do a thorough search on the internet, check the opportunities for your field.  Having come this far, you should not give up.\n\nGet a job, get experienced, you never know, you might end up lovin it, and do MBA in correspondance.  Pune has some good institutes for correspondance.  If you are inclined towards finance, you can opt for MBA in Finance.  If you are inclined towards human resource development, you can opt for MBA in HRD, either will be helpful to you in your chosen field.  You have spent five years nearly studying this subject, dont give up now.  May be you can go on to do your PhD too.\n\nI think you are dazzled by the salaries the MBA grads get.  Dont be because most of them get unhappy with their high-salaried jobs within six months, maximum stick on until one year before opting for jobs they love for a lower salary.  That is what is important.  You gotta love what you do first.  Remunerations will follow.  Other way around, you will end up being miserable.

Do what you think you'll enjoy. FYI, my sister majored in Microbiology, she works at a hospital as a Lab Tech. She's the person who tests your blood sample and generates the results for the doctors. Pretty decent salary.

If you are doing an engineering degree go njit, they have a reciprocal program with rutgers so you can take classes there if you want.\nThere is a future in bio-med engineering, but you might run into some job finding difficulties as bio med's in the industry are kind of viewed as a jack of all trades master of none, or that is what I have been told by some of the people i've asked (I am not bio-med).  You better be sure bio-med is what you really want to do if you do into it else you might be better off starting with a more general engineering degree and doing like a bio-med masters.  Aslo keep in mind the bio-med program at njit is pretty new.  I have a friend who got a bio-med masters from njit, but she's in dental school now.  Bio-med would def be a good start if you were looking to go into some sort of medical degree or planned to go straight to master's.\n\nOh keep in mind as of 2 years ago at least, njit's career services were terrible and not much help in finding grad's jobs.

Yes there are. There are a lot of research organizations that have Bio tech scientists. However, the largest employer of Biotechnology scientists are the Pharmaceutical industry. All Pharamaceutical companies have a research division which need people with these skills. Apart from that, a lot of agricultural research companies also hire these professionals. So there is a big market out there if you are qualified enough.

The future of biotechnology is bright.If you move to the area of agriculture, the scope is immense.There are food plants that need to be protected from pests and made to cope with less water content. In terms of quality of produce, there is some scope of improvement.\nIn pharmacology several biochemically engineered  drugs are to be manufactured.There are large number of labs in different parts of the world that have taken up the challenging task of manufacturing drugs that afflict mankind.GENE THERAPY is being talked about.All you have to do is be in touch with  latest techniques and use your computer to find out latest developments.If you are in India, get in touch with people at CCMB at Hyderabad, and JNU. You may even visit some of the progressive labs for stimulating your thoughts.

Okay... if you want to proceed into research after BSc (Biotech), the  best thing I think you should do is to go into a doctorate program. Perhaps you should find a thesis based on stem cells?

If you are thinking of getting an employment in those countries in the biotech field. It is not an easy route, especially if you are a foreigner. \n\nThey usually seek for people at the masters/ phD level. \n\nIn fact, even at the phD level the competition is really stiff.
