saspur Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Microbiology and Virology, which field offers better chance in finding a job? I know this question is too board, since there are a lot of branch areas in microbiology and virology. But I would like to know the general picture of these two fields: which one is more promising? Perhaps I should make it more detailed: studying the genetic mechanism behind microbiology pathogenesis or studying the specific mechanism of virus replication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singlecell Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 What sort of job do you want? I would venture that viral replication experience is more valuable in the pharmaceutical industry. In academia, I don't know. I'm interested to hear what people think about this. I'm going with bacteriology or bust (biofuel focus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
