Is Biotechnology a realistic career option in the country?

I'm still a Grade 12 student na iniisip nang mabuti yung pipiliin kong programs for college. The question speaks for itself. Are there many job opportunities for it (all fields of biotech). Biotech is really my passion but I've been hearing na "zero to none" ang options niya here sa Philippines, so I'm considering to choose a more secure path like Chem and ChemEng. My interest is really in the lab so as long as I'm in a lab, I'm happy with my job.

What program to choose in UST for pursuing a laboratory scientist job?

Current grade 12 student and applying for the USTET and I'm currently overthinking kung alin ang pipiliin ko. I already researched and asked some people and they said na yung BS Bio major in MBB is "the best"(?). Di pa ako sure with that since i dont know paano yung magiging environment ng program. What programs do you recommend and will I have great opportunities after graduation??

Do I have a future with these courses??

Do these courses offer great job opportunities after graduating? Ayaw ko lang magsisi kaya im thinking about it ngayon. I wanna work on a lab setting and medyo research focused din gusto ko (and also, tatagos ba ako sa mbb? i heard na napaka-konti lang ng kinukuha nila). My GWA from g8-g11 is naglalaro lang between 94 and 95, and medyo nadalian ako sa upcat (with maybe 6 blanks throughout the test).

Parents not allowing me to go at UPD because I'm "not ready"

I'm from Cavite and I asked my parents if pwede ako mag-UPD because naandun yung dream course ko (MBB. I guess there is also an MBB at DLSU pero mabubutas naman wallet ng pamilya ko). However, di nila ako pinapayagan because mahirap daw sa manila and hindi pa ako ready. I already know this fact and I'm ready to risk na mag-aral sa maynila even though It's my first time. I have friends naman na magiging ka-dormmates if ever man na makapasa ako sa UPD. However, I still couldn't convince them. Sinasabi nila na I should just go for PolSci which I don't even have an ounce of interest in. Should I just give up UPD, even though medyo confident ako sa magiging score ko sa upcat, and opt for ABT nalang sa UPLB or ipaglalaban ko ba yung preferred course ko?

How is the Agricultural Biotechnology industry in the Philippines?

Currently grade 12 student and planning to take BS - ABT in UPLB. I want to plan my future this early para di ako magsisi sa future. Can I earn sufficiently with this degree here sa ph or required ba ang masters for most jobs(and how is the job hunting experience in this industry)? I'm also planning to go overseas to take masters and im dreaming of starting a career there too. Pero we have a farmland used for our family business and im curious if ma-apply ko ba doon yung matututunan ko sa college. Thanks in advance of answering.

UPCAT in 2 weeks, learning strategy for math?

Just started reviewing 4 days ago with almost 15 hrs of review time per day (wala akong review nung bakasyon kaya ic-cram ko na lahat in these 2 weeks). And very struggling parin ako sa math especially geometry kahit bino-bombard ko na sarili ko with test questions (I'm not part of any review center kasi sa tingin ko kaya naman ipasa without review centers, self study lang talaga). Any tips in studying math? sobrang hina ko kasi talaga sa math and sa binigay na mock exam ng up, i got only got 5 correct items out of 14 kaya im medyo worried

What course should I take in college If I'm interested in medical laboratory work?

Grade 12 here and I've only applied at UP for BS Biology. However, madaming nagsasabi na medyo broad yung biology if I want to do medical laboratory work as a job. I dont know which course will translate the best if I plan to take Masters overseas after college and dun na rin bumuo ng career after some time. Pero some of my friends and family says that mas maganda munang kumuha ng work experience dito sa pinas bago magtake ng masters. I'm very confused right now and you're help is much appreciated.

Is BS MBB or BS Biotech worth it? or should i just choose a different biology course?

Currently Grade 12 and eyeing BS MBB in UPD and BS Biotech in DLSMHSI, pero nakita ko online that mababa daw ang salaries ng jobs na pwede kong kunin with that course. I want to be a medical laboratory scientist pero di ko nakikitang mangyari siya dito sa ph. Parang abroad lang yung only option which medyo uncertain pa ako since I dont know if papayagan ng magulang. Should I still go for this course? Any tips on what I can do is greatly appreciated, medyo concerned lang talaga ako sa future ko huhu. Thanks!
