good to know...
that at least the biotech market is experiencing good growth. i liked this guide for the specific info it gave on where those areas of growth are as well as the pros and cons for working in that industry. all in all, it gave me a good feel for what i can do once i graduate with my biology degree--and also important, how much i can expect to make (good for when i finally get into salary negotiations! would hate to be low-balled!). i'm thinking i'd like to go work at a biotech or pharmaceutical company, maybe get into one of their special undergraduate programs and then go back to school for my master's. this guide gave me the tools i need to target the specific companies that match my interests.

Great Starter
I thought this guide was really helpful to evaluate the industry overall and see where I fit in. It should also come in handy for answering questions intelligently when it comes time to interview. I can see from the above review that a PhD candidate didn't find it very helpful, but I don't think this guide is primarily for PhDs. It's a general starter for those who are seriously cosidering a career in biotech and pharmaceuticals, but who might not have the structure and advisory help that PhDs have.
