Sorry for the long post!
Hi, I'm in India. I completed my bachelors in biotechnology and am in the first month of masters in genetic engineering. Initially I had no plan to join masters in India, instead I thought of pursuing MS abroad. As I could only apply for programs for September 2024, I thought a gap year would decrease my chances of getting into any program and would not look nice on my resume. As time went by, I panicked and got into genetic engineering masters. This is where I came to know it is a research-oriented program unlike biotechnology and must do a PhD afterwards. I don't even know what the career scope for genetic engineering might be. Now, I'm in a dilemma that I should continue my masters for two years and do a PhD abroad or do any internship for a year and get into masters in biotechnology abroad (specifically US) for September 2024 and directly go for an industry?! Any suggestions are welcome!
I am making huge assumptions related to your MS that it’s not from Tier-1. If that’s true, you can look for some internship and try PhD. I know people those who went for phd on biological sciences abroad and now doing good.
Definitely not Tier-1. The reason I am skeptical is that I don't think I am patient enough for PhD. I've heard people saying it took 7-8 years to defend a thesis.
Check NTU/NUS programs
Don't do phd
Oh! A straight up denial. Any reasons?
That is not saying much, what's the problem with PhD? It's a great career option, especially for someone in biological sciences where a lot of cutting edge research is happening.
