Its really very good topic to discuss. The major thing is that if u want to start your career in this field, you will have to keep patience. If u dont have patience, never come to this field. People thinks that there are lots of job oppurtinities in dis field, but its totally WRONG. Oppurtinity you l get, only if u have higher degree with experience. If you want to good earn in this field that l be after ur age is 30 years. A software engineer can earn 20-30000 minimum just aftrev getting BTech degree. So dont compare urself wid those people.
Quality of education in biotechnology is decreasing now a days, due to mushroming of such courses in South India basically, Bangalore. They dont have any good facility, and they charge too much. Even I got opportunity to teach there, but denied due to their poor infrastructure.
