Somehow I was wondering if all biotechs graduate don't get a work, or it depends on the courses?
I'm doing genetics and molecular bio, and I admit, it's hard even to seek for a place to do LI.
How about microbes and biochem students? Somehow I envisioned microbes students having lots of jobs opportunities. They can even stay in the hospital labs or work in health related sections.
Genetics? I don't know either

And it irks me how companies always seek for experience ppl. I mean, where can we get experience if they didn't allow us to? By the end of the day, we'll have lots of inexperienced ppl waiting for jobs and lots of old, experienced ppl retiring from the company. Then what? Company goes KO coz they could find anymore experienced ppl.

Malaysia tends to follow other countries. When other the big goons said "biotech is needed", MY jumps to it with the hope that they would not be left behind. They never look at the future (or they look too much in the future). R&D in MY can't suddenly go into a hike. The government needs to see how biotech comes around. They can't just go saying "Lots of graduates of biotech field is needed by 2015!" or sth like that. They'd be influx of ppl taking biotech, and resulting in influx in ppl menganggur later.



Academia? What is it actually? 100% for R&D or sth to do with education field? It doesn't seemed to have a proper website.

I was wondering about the biotech corp that is seemed to be on the rise lately. They did something about the usahawan and biotech, but somehow I think it's just government's way of promoting the course. One company being active doesn't mean all biotech field is rising. My friend did plant biotech, and she ends up opting for masters and then phD. Become a lecturer coz apparently, there IS a shortage of lecturers.

Just wondering, which specialization in biotech are you from? bioinfo? biochem? microbe?

Anyway, people said it's better to go for phD and become a lecturer, but I think I prefer being an RA and do demo-ing in labs rather than teaching...
Some uni (like mine, as I found out from the lecturers), gives red slip to even good lecturers if they didn't do any research...

Is there actually more of biotech graduates going for teaching or more of them opting for working in a completely unrelated field? Just curious.

Anyone actually get a work offer at the same place they do Latihan industri?
What is a good place to do that anyway? I can barely see any suitable place
