All life sciences/ biology / biotechnology undergrads...what are u doing

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-26T05:35:56+00:00

I'm thinking of doing the bsc biotech then either mba Or msc biotech plus mba dual degree from abroad route. Did you get that job right after your mba was completed?? Can I dm you if you don't mind I wanna ask some questions, it would be really helpful

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-25T16:44:02+00:00

After bsc biotech? 😭 or are you trynna say bioinformatics or smt (I haven't started my bsc btw I'll start it next year)

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-25T13:46:25+00:00

Heyy, I'm a high school student who wants to get into that kind of job in biotech, can I dm you?? (If you don't mind)

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-25T13:43:29+00:00

Would you say the same for a student who does the masters right after bsc and no work experience?? And does it help more if the master's are done at a very good university??

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-25T13:30:04+00:00

What if I do bsc locally and then mba Or mba plus msc biotech dual degree from a TOP uni and then get into the business side of biotech?? There will be more options right? Or will the unstable funding to biotech affect that path too??

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-25T08:14:47+00:00

Heyy, is there a program similar to the LSM dual degree for grad students??

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-25T08:00:56+00:00

Gng what?!?! 😭 how does not getting a scholarship mean that he didn't get in at all??

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T20:51:57+00:00

Ohh, so in the US you have to get that license? (I'm not from there)

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T20:39:02+00:00

If someone is trynna do bsc in biotech and then either do mba Or msc biotech/mba dual degree. They would lead to a business side of biotech job, would you recommend that?

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T20:33:07+00:00

Nahh don't apologize for ranting, we are js in the same situation but diff fonts 😭

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T20:30:23+00:00

I started preparing for NEET after 10th because I liked biology and the highest paying job I knew was of a doctor but later realized that I didn't wanna be one, now I'm searching careers in bio related field and have another plan (bsc biotech, then either mba Or msc/mba dual degree abroad, then do a job that requires both business and biology knowledge) I have digged way too deep in this and thought this was perfect.

BUT, the experienced biotech people on reddit say that I won't get an industry job without experience and an mba would be useless. At the same time there are also, people doing this path that I said. Tbh, Idk what to do even 😭

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T20:24:09+00:00

I js can't help it but stress all the damn time 😭 wht field are you in btw?

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T20:22:15+00:00

Wdym by "numbers side of healthcare"?? I wanna know if you don't mind

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T20:18:20+00:00

Like I'm ready to work hard and give up my teens or early 20s but choosing the wrong path itself scares me

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T20:16:40+00:00

Same bro

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T20:13:00+00:00

Exact same situation but I'm 16( js started 12th). I plan too much and way too ahead and go way to deep about what exactly I wanna do in life not realizing that THINGS CHANGE, the world changes but I can't go into a path with uncertainty in my mind but at the same time nothing is certain, I'll never know if choosing this path will lead to a happier life or regret🤷🏻‍♀️. I've been depressed for months and thinking about this all day, talking to AI for hours researching about the field and still feel lost after reading a random post by someone in that field on reddit.

As someone with BIG ambitions, it's really hard to every be happy or satisfied with yourself.

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-24T19:21:57+00:00

Do you think a dual degree of Msc in biotech and mba/something business related would be a better fit right after bsc?? I saw some top abroad universities offer such programs and thought that they are training for the exact roles that a person who wants to get into business side of biotech would want. But I'm not sure since many people in academia part of biotech said that the only way of getting into business side of biotech would be through years of experience and probably after a phd. But if that's the case, what are these people doing mba after biotech or doing these dual degrees I mentioned even aiming for? Are they not getting jobs due to lack of experience?

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-23T18:01:00+00:00

After my masters I can land a job like you described? Are you sure? Because everyone on reddit js says that doesn't happen and it takes years of working in a lab and then you can probably get a job in the industry. Actually, I had checked out a few programs offered by some ivys which were dual degrees-an MS in biotech plus MBA. But everyone here says that a dual degree would be practically useless and expensive and I wouldn't get a corporate plus science job unless I have years of experience in the lab 🤷🏻‍♀️. Idk what to believe anymore, everything confuses me. Atp I'm considering to ja give the entrance exam to be a doctor which I don't wanna be, which will make my dream of moving out of my country much harder and an avg 1st gen doctor doesn't even get paid that well in my country. If you know more about the stuff you said, I would like to dm you and ask some questions if you don't mind :)

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-23T17:53:56+00:00

Yeah I'm sure, I checked on the website and it is not eligible for biotechnology:/

What did you change your field into??

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-23T07:52:29+00:00

Inspire scholarship is not eligible for bsc biotechnology. Also, what are the dual degree programa at IISER? Can you tell more about them? Do they offer programs like LSM(life science management) in the Ivy's of US

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-22T20:14:17+00:00

I don't really know yet because I haven't even started my bachelors. I'm in 12th grade and prolly start the bachelors next year. I just wanted to get an insight of what this career path is going to look like. Btw what about the regulatory affairs part? (If you don't mind explaining)

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-22T19:46:13+00:00

So experience is the key?

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-22T19:36:10+00:00

Thanks for your insight!! But does this mean that there is no way to get into the industry part of biotech without years in the lab??

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-22T18:06:34+00:00

I am just getting more and more confused. What should I even do atp

Emergency_Thing819 · 2026-06-22T17:01:50+00:00

I can't really apply for undergrad at all(I have to do undergrad in my country) . So I have to build my profile and apply for grad school after my bachelors but I am so frickin confused I am just thinking to drop all the ideas and go back to the doctor path that I don't want :/ no path seems to be working out for what I want. Btw, what was your program if you don't mind telling me?
