If your child has come to you for advice on getting an education in biotechnology, congratulations! They’re already one step ahead of the curve and have a good chance at finding a stable, well-paying job in the future. Here are a few of the tips you should give them when they’re applying to schools:
Decide on a School: There are obvious top runners for biotech degrees but your son or daughter should have a few backups as well. They can find information online with Satellitestarinternet or during school visits – remember that the curriculum isn’t all that matters.
Speak to an Expert: Have your child meet with a biotech professional to talk to them about their educational path. Many biotech workers got there untraditionally so it will be good for them to hear how unimportant their undergrad major really is.
Join Some Clubs: Encourage your child to join clubs at school like the Biology Club. Better yet, have them start their own group which will show initiative and leadership to schools when it’s on their application. They’ll get some real world experience and learn more about working with others.
