I'm a biotech graduate who fell into this boom, thinking my future would be boomed, finally I have landed in a PhD programme in korea and now I'm a research zombie. Coming back to india getting a job in govt-research lab is difficult, reason is simple, jobs are favoured based on caste system category and employment seniority, just for a salary of 10.000/month, a medical rep earns more than that..... So guys as the author has said, think before you jump to biotech, else no other go better study biochemistry or micro or biology etc.....

N for me it was my passion for this field from the period when i first read about biotech n its applications about 5 yrs back....due to no scope in future my friends dropped the idea of doing PG in biotech...instead they r thinkin abt MBA but i don wan to drop my interest for the biotech....these r the thoughts which haunt my mind whole day....but one thing i know is tht im passionate abt it but i don know wht will happen in future if the scenario remains the same.....i don wan to end jobless...can u give ur advice on doing computational biology after my PG. N some even say tht after ur PG go for drug designing u can get jobs but reading these articles i wan to be sure n wan to hav full info abt as to wht im doing will help me to fetch a job or not....
