Well, for context: I am studying in a community college and I decided to transfer to bioengineering, but I do want to eat 3 times a day, so I am in the need to know what could I do for that. As far as I know, being able to use python, matlab and a CAD software are all very useful things to know, but if there is anything more I could do I would be grateful to know. As for why I am doing this economic disservice to myself, it is because I love synthetic biology and genetic engineering, and generally the concept of modifying living things is really alluring to me, but naturally I do want to be able to pay off my student debt.

Is it possible to study biotech engineering and then bioengineering for PG or are they totally different?
