I am a graduate of Food Biotechnology so of course my specialization is in food. I joined BeST program for 5 months then offered a job in food industry. Mainly focus in quality assurance/control. No related to research at all. it's since I'm not 100% interested in research work at the first place. Studying is ok but for work, not really. But I'm not saying I'm happy with my job right now. It's just...you know, I need to make a living and put some experience in my resume.

My other BeST colleagues were biotech graduate, most couldn't find job till now. I don't know the exact problem but from their story they're focusing too much in research field. I bet they also don't know what they want to research at. they just want to continue from what they've done for their thesis. there's one time when we're having an impromptu meeting during BeST program about what field in research we want to commercialized if given a chance. and they keep telling about field that related to their final year project (and yes...most their FYP are in the same area of research).

what i want to say is don't limit your skills to certain knowledge only. During BeST program, we've been exposed to sooooo many area of biotech that can be explore. So, you couldn't get a job in let's say tissue culture related work, doesn't mean you don't have any other choice. Just explore any opportunity you have. Maybe, your interest will change after experiencing new field in what you specialized at.
