Hi everyone,
(Before hand, sorry for the long post)
I was interested to hear from people in the workforce already or from people who may have knowledge about the future prospects of Biotechnology or Bioengineering. Will there be more jobs, will the pays be any good or will they be crap? Will bonuses be any good, also where will the best jobs be or are currently? (I am assuming that would be in private sectors, such as the pharmaceutical industry).
Also it would be great if I could get information specifically for Canadian citizens, although I don't mind getting information about the future of Biotechnology down south as well.
Thanks for helping me out with my inquiries.
P.S.
The reason I ask these questions, is that I recently spoke with a friend who told me there was no future in Biotechnology or any science degrees currently or in the future (well mostly in Canada, but even a bit in America). I tried to state the otherwise, although would love to get information from people who already are experiencing any changes or not.
Also this friend is trying to persuade me to enter the field of medicine, as in becoming a family doctor since they pay more although again he states the best work is in America and no future again for doctors in Canada. For me, a career in medicine would have been my second choice. But I don't know, would like to hear from you all, as I am sure you have way more experience than my friend who is still a student.
P.S.S.
He gets most of his information I believe from people he met online and around campus, and from people who couldn't get into medical schools such as UofT (Canada). He also bases his insights on no jobs for science in Canada because of people he has seen with science degrees and no jobs.
