Hi, sorry if I made you misunderstand. I am referring to cherlynIN's post:
"hey well i m the postgraduate of the biotech, so it is true that it damn hard to get a job in biotech relate field after those biotech postgraduate student graduate. I thought they say that our government are encourage the develop of biotech industry in m'sia? Frankly i m kinda of scared after c what u guy said"
I just wanna say it is a need to survey for the job market before you decide something, for example furthering your studies. There is no point in going to phd just because "most of my friends did it". And then got scared after realizing there are limited job offers.
I did life science because I love it, without checking out its job opportunities, job scope,.....etc. I regretted for not thinking thorough enough before I took my degree. But at the end of the day, I never regret taking my course because I found my passion and love in science. The dream of changing the world into a better place, environmental-wise or medical-wise, is still in us science graduates, no matter how stupid it sounds to others.
I think we all life science graduates should have more confidence in ourselves and all the knowledge we have, even if we have to do sales or pathology lab assistants to feed ourselves for the time being, we shouldn't let our dreams die. We should keep learning and updating ourselves, read journals and science news even if you've left the university, the passion is very important!
Ummm u said it right, but i never regret with what the choice i had made and i never follow my friend path. All the time, i think that biotech are the one that always play the noble role in life science field. Even when sometime u don't even care what other think while other look at biotech as if like a crap, u still cont on ur dream. But u do scare when all other are ready to look at how u going to fail while u do really had all the passion and convince in doing all the hardwork u had work on all this time but in the end u find out the result going to be zero, frankly u do freak out.
