While many industries are downsizing, biotechnology continues to grow. Whether you complete a short certificate program such as the one at Cal State Hayward ( www.csuhayward.edu/acaprogs/biotech), or have a master's degree in a field such as molecular biology, engineering or computer science, jobs are available: in the lab, in a manufacturing facility, or in regulatory affairs (the federal government requires a mountain of information on each research project).
