Daily Life of a biotech?

[biotechstudent1989]

Dear Professionals,

I am currently a student in florida and I am majoring in biotechnology. I was wondering if any one can give me any advice or any input as to what to expect when entering the workforce? What is the daily life as a biotech? Is there any area that is in high demand and if so would it be beneficial to major in one particular area rather than a broad study? Any info will be greatly appreciated!!!

Are you working in lab regularly, like for your bachelor/master/diplome thesis? By that I mean really regularly, like every day at least for some time etc. not only come once a month to have a look, how are others doing
If so, than you should know pretty well, what is it about Of course, it dependens (damn, I can't spell it :-/ ) on what will you be doing exactly, with what material etc.

I'm a BioE major, my best advice would be to focus on one area that you really like.

Dear Biotech student.
I am Mary. I want to draw your attention to that there are vast career scope in the biology and biosciences. Innovation of new scientific institutions and centers for excellence will help emerging students and scientists demanding careers in research and development. It will also help in entrepreneurial development in this sector. So I would say that just stick on the area of interest you like and focus on it. There are more ways ahead.
Thanks.

I want to focus on different ways to make the world a more safer place. I lvie in florida and I went to Disney and they have a biosphere that farms fish and grow plants in different ways. That is what I am really interested in.

Interesting... but I don't think, this is work for biotech or I don't understand

Yeah, something like that. Maybe also some tropical agriculture (I think, there are also such schools:)
