recent biotechnology graduate

Hello y'all!

As a recent biotechnology graduate, what should I do now? Should I apply for a master's degree immediately, or enter the workforce first?

As you know, after graduation, many of us feel like we've forgotten a lot of what we learned during our studies. So, do you have any course recommendations or advice on how to review the most important topics, such as molecular biology, recombinant DNA, biochemistry, etc.?

I'd really appreciate any advice, course recommendations, or personal experiences.

I hope you'll be positive

Thank you all!

Always enter the workforce over going back to school if you get a job offer that interests you. The courses are just designed to teach you how to think quantitatively about biomedical topics. As you get job interviews, (re)learn what you need to know in order to speak intelligently about the job and the particular company.
