What career paths fit my background (Biotech MS + Nutrition BS, 2 year lab experience)?
I’m trying to figure out my next career move.
I have a Bachelor’s in Nutritional Science and a Master’s in Biotechnology. For the past 2 years, I’ve been working as a research technician. In this role, I’ve realized I don’t mind being in a lab environment, but I don’t care to be running experiments/assays all day long. I enjoy learning new things and am especially drawn to the lab’s maintenance and regulatory aspects.
I’m based in Texas, but I’m also open to roles that involve travel if that expands my opportunities.
Some paths I’ve briefly considered are:
- Regulatory affairs
- Clinical research
- Nutrition related roles
Any advice or personal experiences on what you pivoted to or how you pivoted, certifications that helped, roles, anything…..would be really helpful, thank you!
