HI! I'm from India. I'm in the 12th and I'm planning to do B.E./B.Tech. in biotechnology in one of the Indian universities.
My question is what can I specialize in for my M.S. (which I'm planning to do in the US) and what are my career opportunities? Besides research, what are the other options

Thanks in advance!

P.S. what is the pay like? You could PM me for this.
