I'd like to pick up on this thread again. Now that most 'A' level leavers are going on to universities, does anyone have any advice on whether life sciences is still a good field to get into?

I'm aware of this thread too:
Thinking of doing an Life Science diploma/degree? Read this first.

I suppose "good field" refers to pay and prospects? Don't know how the market will be like 3-4yrs later when you grad. Currently even sub-par eee or me grads have higher starting pay and better prospects. You can find lots of info from uni career guides or career fairs. Most are open to public and free.

The way to succeed in life is to do opposite to what the Government says.

Get your thesaurus and find the antonym of "Life".

Next, find the antonym of "Science".

Next, Google "Nicky Teo Chin Li".
Words of wisdom for those who believe the government's hype blindly.

Like saying Chinese is important when most of the ministers can't even hold a proper conversation in mandarin. Very tellingly, all former education ministers who are Chinese by race couldn't even speak mandarin.

There are still some very good paying jobs in life sciences for those involved in promoting life sciences to students.

The skill sets are also highly transferable across different industries. For example, now that life sciences have gone awry and the whales have returned home, you can promote clean energy to students by telling them "if you have only Masters then you'll only wash solar cells, but if you have PhD then you'll drive electric taxis".

Was it Philip Yeo who talked about graduates washing test tubes?
