Many children and their parents believe that if one does not get admission into an MBBS course or at least a BDS course, life is over. So we hold a set of talks every year to show them other possibilities. We invite these children from neighbouring schools and junior colleges.
The point is, how convinced am I that biosciences offer good career opportunities?
Yes, a few of my students are doing very well in research labs. Some in related areas...hospital management, biotech management etc. But what of the not so good ones?
But the same question can be asked in any field. After an MBBS, will you get a good job? Yes the good ones get into Fortis/AIIMS/CMC , but many end up as duty doctors in small time nursing homes.
So, just as there is no guarantee after an MBBS, so too after a BSc+ MSc.

As the database of tests and patient's information is increasing with multi-year follow up in any treatment and also since Doctors need computer's help with diagnostic and treatment, in US digital health care (and bioinformatics) people have a good job options. This is specially suitable for bio-engineering students where they have some background in disease and diagnostic and can learn programming skills for managing digital health care. Sooner or later, this will catch in India as well.
thanks--will include
Qatar is offer great opportunities for medical students and for experience professionals; there are huge opportunities for fresher to start their career.
Thanks
This is a good point to make. Many people think an MD (in America) or a PhD degree will guarantee them a good job when they finish. The truth is that these degrees are just the beginning! Finding that "good job" can be just as challenging (sometimes) as getting into a school and completing the degree!
Great Information about careers.
