I hope people will truly understand the hype created by biotech boom after reading this column. The so called boom is about the research activities and not in terms of jobs. One more thing, we need not be a graduate in biotech field to acquire a biotech job.Because, biotechnology is an amalgamation of different subjects and techniques, and so one specializing in a particular area can find a job related to his/her interest and experience. Finally i want to add that it is not easy to get into PhD as the entrace exam itself requires thorough knowledge in the basics of various sciences and only those who are very keen and diligent in their objective will be able to surmount this kind of tough assessment. So my advice to all those who are bewitched by this term called "biotech" you should be really, truly, madly n deeply in love with it, to have opted for the course. Good luck....
