Are you a Life science graduate working in different sector?
Share an exact reason behind your choice.
Share an exact reason behind your choice.
Science
exists whether we believe it or not. No students could forget scientific
theories they learned during schooling. As science is a diverse subject
categorise many fields, growth of life science emerged enormously from past
decade due to necessity of technology development.
Science
stands for passion, without the deliberate interest, success on scientific
revolution is impossible to attain. Most
of us might remember our first biology lab practical by covering ourselves with
lab coats, using basic forceps, pipettes, colourful solution all. It should be
a class hours for some students and favourite period for some. The second part
of people falls in love with science more often. Even after spending years of
education in life science, we could frequently notice some of them in different
career sector, particularly in developing countries like India. Even on my
personal experience, it happened to large quotient of people who graduated with
me.
I wish to
analyse, whether they lack the interest or situation drives them in impassive
path? True restreaking reason behind their choice still remains suspicious.
Apart from
working on research laboratories and pharmaceutical industries, most people
still happy to use their scientific words as a medical transcriptionist
/Medical coders, in contrary some are with banking/IT sector. In my
perspective, this could happen because of their insufficient competency in
practical skills or by financial hike on other sector.
'' Oh no... that Viruses are different from laboratory ones !!! ''
I am posting
this discussion here for probing all life science people to persuade exact
reason for their career choice in different sectors to solve that meticulous
issue as we are in need of fresh rational for newer discoveries.

Not much job availability in India, lesser wages are the reason for change from microbiology to marketing profession.
Transparent reason is we are not getting enough practicals to meet industrial needs. way to get internship is lesser when compared to other fields. Job availability is more in IT sector
Besides the fact that opportunities are very less in sciences compared to other fields, we should be more deserving and skilled enough for the desired job. I feel, as budding science people, students should make up their minds not to look for jobs after graduating. And science should be taught with more practical sessions and with experts to have a sound knowledge not merely as curriculum.
Also, reaching the dream career will take a lot of life time and most students tend to settle down, may be after a post-graduation or Ph.D ,which ultimately forces them to take up whatever they'r been offered. This is the main reason behind many career shifts from Science to other fields.
Thank you for your comments Mr. Suresh and Jagathguru. I appreciate your effort.
