Yogobro298 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'd like a career under something that falls under Genetic Engineering>Genetics I'm really interested in DNA modification. But I'm kind of confused on what to take in college. I was looking into Genetics>Geneticist and it seemed like it was more medical. I think what I'm looking for falls under more Biotechnology maybe? I'm really confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 One thing to realize is that there is no career in "-insert research topic here." Rather there are jobs/careers that may (or may not) require knowledge in a certain area. I.e. you do not have a genetic engineer, but e.g. a process manager/analyst/project manager with relevant genetic (or other technical and non-technical) knowledge. As such it is is wrong to see college as a type of vocationa education but rather as a means to follow ones interest. That being said, the course that are relevant to your interest will vary from school to school. There is always a requirement for basic molecular genetics (regardless of system or application) and then some specialization afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
