Indeed, there is no doubt that the subject has immense potential. Many of the students land here after unsuccessful attempts of becoming a doctor.

My friend the only truth is of biotechnology is very very simple indeed. It is the person who should decide what he or she wants to be in life. Examples include a bio entrepreneur, a working professional in industries or an academic scientist. The routes and the needs for all this may be completely different.
