More opting for biotechnology
More young Malaysians are venturing into biotechnology, betting that there will be a huge demand for such skills in three years’ time.
Many students are also considering careers in biochemistry, pharmacology, psychology, nutrition and nursing.
Career consultants and counsellors in local colleges said this was somewhat unusual as most students tend to opt for evergreen courses such as engineering, business, accountancy and hotel catering.
"There are still many students wanting to do such traditional courses, but a noticeable number are turning to science and technology," said Nilai International College counsellor and career planner Ling Mee Chooi.
Apart from the biotechnology industry being new, students may have also been encouraged by recent news that there are 40,000 vacancies in the health science industry.
