Career advice

Hey everyone,

Just looking for peoples opinions on options for career paths. I have some insecurities in maybe being overlooked by employers due to my degree (since its not a “pure” science)

I am currently working in assay development as a RA working on a POC medical device (ELISA based). It’s a pretty good gig and im not looking to leave right now. But it’s definitely not my dream job.

I have a BSc in Forensic science, and experience as a forensic scientist working in DNA labs (DNA extraction, PCR and CE).

Im kinda hoping my experience can carry me as I can imagine someone with a biochem (or anything of the sort) degree may be favoured over me. I am interested in lab work, specifically PCR, NGS, protein expression, cell culture - anything like that. I worry I may have to do a MSc or PhD just to have more options😭 what do people think? Do I have a good employability from my experience?

Thanks! 🌿🌊💐
