Biotech vs Architecture.?
548894
If you are more interested in science, I (a licensed architect) would recommend sticking with that, seeing it through to a degree.  The fields of science/research/biotech are less susceptible to the fluctuations of the economy than is architecture.\n\nHaving said that, if you find after completing your initial degree that you want to still pursue architecture, you could then pursue a masters degree in architecture.\n\nFrom what I understand, the money starting out for biological science majors (mostly researchers) is probably the same as architects.

the definition of biotechnology is " the creation of useful products to make money" basically but it really is more than that.  It is a wonderful field that, if allowed to progress, is going to change the world in so many ways! Paralyzed people will walk again by research in stem cell use,  organ donors will no longer be neccessary by research in cloning human organs,  we have insulin through microbial cultivation....there's so much we can do! Clean up oil spills with microbes,  mapping the entire genetic code will help cure diseases, gene therapy....I could go on forever!

What then is biotechnology? The term brings to mind many different things. Some think of developing new types of animals. Others dream of almost unlimited sources of human therapeutic drugs. Still others envision the possibility of growing crops that are more nutritious and naturally pest-resistant to feed a rapidly growing world population. This question elicits almost as many first-thought responses as there are people to whom the question can be posed. \n\nIn its purest form, the term "biotechnology" refers to the use of living organisms or their products to modify human health and the human environment. Prehistoric biotechnologists did this as they used yeast cells to raise bread dough and to ferment alcoholic beverages, and bacterial cells to make cheeses and yogurts and as they bred their strong, productive animals to make even stronger and more productive offspring.

Architecture is beauty...art...life! For after all what would we be without art? Human-beings have the need for creating and art and beauty is better than creation another bomb, for instance...don't you think?

Can you explain your Q more?\nbut I can say genetic regultaion is very important in biotech\nfrom the simplest task like protein expression \n( we need to control the expression by gene regulation such as using lac operon so that the protein which may be toxic or unnatural to the host can be expressed in desirable time)\nto very advance task gene regulation is heavily involved

I would just focus on one or the other.  Civil engineering and architechure are actualy very diffrent.  Civil (structural) engineers design the structure of the building they use alot of math and physics to determine if a structure will be able to hold the loads placed upon it.  Architects on the other hand design the layout of the building.  \n\nI think your best option would be to earn a bachelors degree in what you are most interested in and then after you have a better feel of what you will do choose what field you want to get your masters degree in.  Who knows what you will want to do then.

Biotechnology or BT is industrial application of biology. Its biology in the service of mankind. It involves application of plants, animals and microorganisms in industry.\n\n\nPost-grad courses in BT -\nMSc. in Biotechnology or even Biochemistry has good career prospects. Biotech is a booming sector and the growth oppurtunities are high. The Biotech sector includes - Biopharma, Biotech, Biotech services, Bioindustrial, Bioinformatics etc. After BSc., those who want to go for research, choose MSc. and then go for Phd. On the other hand, some go for MBA-Biotechnology. Career oppurtunities for both these courses are good.\n\nAfter doing MSc. Biotech, one can join R&D dept. of any good Biotech company. US is the best destination for Biotechnology. It stands out in the field of research as well as the biotech market is much developed in the US. Similar, is the case with UK, Canada and a few EU countries. Coming to India and China, these countries are really trying hard. Australia is good study destination as well for BT studies in Asia-Pacific region.\n\nFor details on entrance exams and admission procedures as well as more career options in BT, you may visit -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nThe other career prospect is MBA-Biotechnology. MBA-Biotech has bright prospects. It is a 2-year programme in management. Only science stream graduates/ those in their final year of graduation can only apply for this course. This course gives equal emphasis to both Biotechnology and management. In India, University of Pune(PUMBA), Amity Institute at Noida are the preferred institutes for this course.

If you are looking into this with the idea of taking up a career in bioinformatics, I would go with it. It is definitely a growth industry from what I could gather by browsing through a few websites. For more information about jobs and training and a basic idea of what bioinformatics is all about, checkout the websites below.

biotechnology will soon be the most important job, it helps in everything and it is growing really fast. I am planing to study it.

Currently IT (information technology) looks attractive. BioInformatics will also grow in mature in near future. Similarly aviation will also be going to boom up.\n\n-vc

form (ANATOMY-MORPHOLOGY) is very closely linked with function (PHYSIOLOGY)\n\nWhen studying AP of cells, tissues, organs, systems or organisms it is customery to learn both A and P together to help us understand that AP design-function go hand and hand.  THe AP is a very sophisticated set of COMPUTERS, with incredible logic, beauty, engineering and genius.  Amazing intricacies that all work together to maintain homeostasis at all these levels for the homeostasis of the whole organism.

here's one: http://www.arclab.org/s1biocom.html\n\nSimple web search of "biotech" "biotechnology" or "biotech industry"  turns up a lot more.

All it depends what you really want to do.......going for architecture need some amount of creativity that should be introspected by yourself only........whereas in IT you should have a good aptitude and a sense of fast learning........

BIOTECHNOLOGY!!! yea. dont get this wrong, i'm only a teen, but very ambitious, muahahaha. my brother is 17 and has already had 3 years of college, and he majored in biotech, and he loved it. I will be doing the exact same thing as him, because its way cool. (you get the lab coats and everything. woot!) yes i say biotech\ngood luck!

Apart from Biochemistry, Biotechnology will be good. Better job prospects, also wide scope for research.

Architecture is one of the few subjects that incorporates both the arts and the sciences and as such it's useful to have qualifications in both areas.\n\nThere are no hard and fast rules when applying to universities as they each apply their own set of entry requirements and your choice of art, design and maths would provide you with a good grounding.\n\nWith the advent of computers a lot of the traditional skills of the architect are not so much needed - drawings and designs are created electronically as opposed to sitting at a drawing board for hours on end.\n\nArchitecture also involves a lot of maths and physics.  You have to understand how structures work and be able to determine what will and won't work (and safely).  For example, it might look very nice to have a fancy cantilevered vieweing platform projecting from the side of a building but if it causes the building to collapse then it's not very practical; you'd have to calculate all the forces involved and design your building to accomodate these forces.\n\nThere's an article from The Independent that you may find useful... http://education.independent.co.uk/higher/az_degrees/article26969.ece \n\nGood luck with your A levels and future degree course.

unless you are going into med school or getting your PhD, you'll end up as a lab engineering making little money while the biotech sales people make 6/7 figure incomne.  the industry itself is booming and slowly converging with the electronic industry.  good understanding of electricity/computers may help you in the long run...
