both also can work in worksites ... and posibility owning your own company ...
why worry? either one of these ... when you find a highly marketable solution and wish to keep it to yourself .... you could reap a lot of profit .. especially if you can find a way to grow cheap protein |

Choose the 1 you like more.....
Food Science & Nutrition focus a lot on food technology, food chemistry, food quality management..... Where Biotech is more to microbiology, cell biology, genetics..... 2 have some similarity, but you can see the difference there...... |

IMO, biotech is far more surfaced. what do i meant by surfaced is that they learn everything pratically, which means they focus more on pratical rather than theory.
But 1 thing i guess is do food science graduates need to do research at lab too? i thought it is more on counselling? Anyway,i think biotech is more diversed, u can drill into food & agricultural productions too. |

All those choices will be stuck in the lab for eternity if you wanna follow this route.. IF not choose arts major or something lke dat.. or maybe u can go into sales... for this field either salesman or stuck in the lab for eternity.. or another option is that take a job that doesnt matter wat u study like bankiing... if u choose your future to be working in a job that doesnt matter what u study then i dun suggest science related.. take up a course where it is the easiest for u and u can get high grades.. so your cgpa will look interesting easier chance for interview dean.ab25 liked this post

Depends which field do you like more.
If you are more interested in nutrition and food, ofcos you should pick food science and nutrition. But if you would like to understand more the technology of making of food, genetic change in food or human body diseases things related to genes and living things, you can then choose biotech den~ |
