I'd like to know that is biotechnology tough to study? I heard from some people said that it is easy but some said hard. But what I'm sure is they all said it is interesting. So, I'd like to know that whether it is hard. Biotech is very wide. Thus, does that mean biotech only touch on the surface but not deep?
Can anyone help me to solve my problem? I plan to take up biotech.

Hello R:

I don't think it's any harder than any other science. It IS a growth industry, however, and that's good.

Is biotech deep?? Not sure what you mean, but I think biotech is on the cutting edge of science and medicine today.

In the jobs report that killed the stock market last Friday, three states had INCREASES in employment while ALL the others lost jobs. Washington was one of those states and jobs in BIOTECHNOLOGY lead the way.

Thanks,excon!
You see, biotech is so wide that it covers the field of medicine, agriculture, industrial and even forensic. In about 3 years time, it's like impossible to go in detail in every field. So does biotech just covering the surface? For example, biomedical science go into very detail in medical. Biotech also covers the field of medical. So it made me wonder whether biotech just covering the surface of a field.

Hello again, R:

I don't know what you mean. There is no "surface" of this field. Maybe if you cleaned up the labs, that guy would be on the surface of biotech. But the scientists ARE the field. They are the ones driving it. Like the engineers run Ford, biotech scientists run the companies in biotech.

Even though there are many facets of this science, that doesn't mean it's watered down. Science is science. ALL science is deep, if that's the right term. Scientists DON'T do surface stuff. Otherwise they'd be technicians.

well... first of all thts a dumb question! :-p
no subject is taught in DEPTH unless u, yourself do a research over it. They teach u 2+2=4 in the professional courses and doing 3432+32.. 1241+43534.. is up to to your skill.. so u may go for it... get it?
