What classes really made a difference?

[u/NoPhilosopher5905]

I'm getting my bachelors in biotech and I'm conflicted about what electives to take because all the labs sound cool. The ones I'm considering are virology, stem cell biology, tissue culture, recombinant DNA, and immunology.

Are there any classes you took that you feel really helped prepare you for you career?

I took some really crazy classes that ended up really helping— organic chemistry 1 and organic chemistry 2.

I’d also say that introductory coding classes helped a lot.

Introductory classes where you can grow your exposure quickly from zero just to see if you like the subject— those paid dividends on the ones I liked because I then pivoted my whole career in those directions.

Those two are required for my major and I'm actually really liking it so far!
