Biotechnology students are broad in scope, as they can work in the pharmaceuticals, agriculture, healthcare, food processing, nutrition, animal science, and environmental conservation sectors. Not in terms of opportunities, even salary packages for biotech professionals are lucrative.

The scope of biotechnology is wide and offers opportunities in both research and engineering fields.

It will take a lot of effort, which can sometimes be frustrating.

This is not a profession for people who want to make a quick buck, but rather for people looking for a long, well-laid career.

The testing and interview processes are often difficult and one has to be a technical expert.

While in genetic engineering:

After taking courses in genetic engineering, you can work in medical and pharmaceutical industries, research and development departments, agricultural sector, genetic engineering companies, chemical companies, etc.

You can earn Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD degrees in this field. It is important for the study of microbiology, cell biology, biotechnology and biochemistry.

Genetic engineering involves the manipulation of genes by organisms using biotechnology.

To be a genetic engineer, you require a strong understanding of scientific methods, critical thinking, analytical, mathematical, problem-solving skills, and the ability to use graphics, photographic images, etc.
