<p>Hi all, </p>

<p>I am a college grad with a BA in Biology and am looking into biotech/pharmaceutical industry. However, my research experience is quite limited since I only had hands-on experience with PCR, GEL ELECTROPHORESIS in a research lab. Other lab techniques were learned through bio and chem labs.
I was wondering if getting a Master's degree in, let say, Biochemistry, pharmacology or other fields, will at least help me get an entry-level job in the industry? Could anyone give me some advice on how to get my foot in the door of biotech/pharmaceuticals? I would very much appreciate your input!!!!</p>

<p>Have you done any internships?</p>

<p>Or, if your hands-on experience in PCR and gel electrophoresis led to a publication, perhaps a PhD in biology (or genetics as those two techniques seemed to suggest) would be more appropriate…</p>

<p>I havent done any internships in the industry. I was a pre-med and later decided against med schools.</p>

<p>Right, a PhD will offer more opportunities, but I dont intend to become a scientist or anything or spend most of my time working in a lab. That’s why I’ve been leaning towards a Master.</p>
