Considering enormous biotechnology role that will continue to grow in a rapid way, many high school graduates are willing to study biotechnology science. Students who are interested in the application of biotechnology science in medicine and pharmaceuticals, forensics, agriculture, food, energy, and the environment may well consider pursuing a career in this field. Rapid development in the biotechnology field is promising to revolutionize human life towards a much better future, establish small and large scale industries in the biotechnology field and create new economic waves. In brief, biotechnology is a field that has astonishing prospects in the future. With the advancement of science and technology, people began to develop biotechnology towards Modern Biotechnology, which is a molecular biotechnology that has entered many sectors of industry and service in various fields, among other plant, medical and forensic, food, and the environment. With the genetic engineering techniques, humans began trying to modify the ordinary characteristics of an organism into the extra-ordinary characteristics that can give much more benefits to human interests. Three new scientific areas that are very rapidly growing (booming) in the 21st century are Information Technology, Nanotechnology and Biotechnology. The rapid development of the three areas is followed by the establishment of thousands of industry that greatly enhance entrepreneurship opportunities in these areas. Thus, the world recently demands a lot of graduates in the biotechnology field and this demand will continue to increase in the future.
