2nd try: I seemed to messed up on where to post this the first time but here is my question:
I have stumbled on this site and find it interesting. A lot of people who know a lot more than me. I am going to school and almost finished knocking out my basic courses.

I was wondering what type of degree(s) should I go for a job in Genetic Engineering. I was told I need one in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and both in MS at the minimum. Is there anything else I should consider?
