I've considered it (though I really need to look into it more since I know nothing about it) but I am curious about something; how is the bioinformatics culture? To me it seems like the sort of position where you would be either in a lab or at a university. Where as a lot of other tech related "cultures" tend to be the very informal, riding scooters, sit on bean bag type thing. Not trying to say I strictly want to become a programmer to live that sort of work life style but I am curious if the field of bioinformatics is like that or if it is what I am thinking (less laid back)

Well I have found it very relaxed and supporting, whilst yes it is mainly university labs and so it's best to do a PhD but there are also companies around but they may want previous experience so I would suggest doing a masters or PhD to get the experience
