If they went into life science for the love of it, then eventually they will find something. But if they went in clueless about it, then after the life science bubble burst they will be very very lost.
I had a friend who enrolled in IT during the late 90's simply because he was told dot com is the way to go. He didn't really like his course and had a hard time. By the time he graduated, the dot com bubble burst by then. He then decided to switch to the financial sector. Fast forward another few years, and we have the sub prime crisis. I am not sure what is he doing now. Hope he has found out what he really wants.

How can that be? It's only be a year or two ago that every smart friend I know wanted to do a life sciences related poly course or uni degree. They all went in with their eyes open, but to come to a stage where the prospects turn from bright to dim so soon and so suddenly is something hard to swallow. I'm not sure how many of them are regretting their ill-informed decisions now.
