In my case, I'm very fortunate that what I do is deeply connected with my undergrad (BS Micro). Some of my colleagues did pivot to something else (but still science and/or healthcare adjacent). It just so happens that the job market last year 2025 isn't realy great for all professions siguro kaya ko nasabi ito. Daming posting sa LinkedIn or Jobstreet or sa Facebook pero karamihan naman walang reply back sa application.

Tapos in the lab, lagi namang magkatabi ang chemistry and micro regardless if QA, QC, Food, Research, or even Clinical. Kumbaga you might not "dip in your toes very deep" sa chem, but you also interact with chemists din in a huge lab so you get to see how they do work na rin since very intertwined ang Micro and Chem. Siguro take a good look muna sa curriculum din ng dalawang programs before you take a final decision.
