I’m a high school student deciding between tech AI and bioinformatics.

My goal is:

- To get a job soon after a bachelor’s (preferably abroad)

- Work in a field that combines healthcare + AI

- Avoid oversaturated career paths

I’m considering bioinformatics, but I have a few concerns:

1. Is it possible to get a job right after a bachelor’s, or is a master’s almost required?

2. How does the starting salary compare to tech roles?

3. Is the field growing, or is it limited to research/academia?

4. What skills should I focus on during college to be employable?

Would you recommend this path, or should I go into data science and specialize in healthcare later?

Honest answers appreciated.
