I’d really like to study genetic engineering because I find it a cool skill. But at the same time, job positions for genetic engineers are few and far inbetween. So while I’d potentially be good at something few people can do (=high paying). If I studied something like law, I’d be much more flexible geographiclally in terms of finding employment. So I’m wondering whether to aspire to a more common career and take GE as a hobby that I’m studying, or if I should double down on GE and work in a café until I find a job in that. (I might decide I want to pivot away from GE once I learn it anyway.) What do you recomend?

    Ok but genetic engineering wil probably pay quite well no? Or is it inaccurate to think that jobs that require big expertise will always pay reasonably well?

      I don’t know

      What I wanted to say is that if you like it, and it pays well, there’s practically no reason not to go for it
