Chemistry or Biotech?
Hello, po!
I'm planning on transferring (from BSA) this upcoming acad year to either of the ff courses:
1st choice: BSChem 2nd choice: BSBioTech 3rd choice: BSABE
Ideally, Chemical Engineering yung DREAM Course ko, pero its not the best option for my current situation. So that's why I put chem as my 1st choice. However, I've been having doubts on pursuing Bschem as I feel that it lacks elements of ChemEng that attracted me to that course. Its a board degree so I feel that out of the 3, it's the safest bet.
BsBioTech feels very exciting to me too, as I learned about the course on a seminar. From that experience, I learned that my interests in pursuing ChemEng (food industry), felt more aligned to BioTech than BsChem. The reason why I hadn't put it as my 1st choice is the fact that its not a board degree in the country and therefore harder to find a job (afaik). And making this a premed course seems like a very expensive plan B if I don't find work after grad.
To those that are now professionals in the field, what do Chem/BioTech/ABE grads generally do in the working field?
What work (other than research) do BioTech grads do if they're not pursuing MD/MS?
What work do Chem grads mostly do? how much do they generally earn?
