Job worries for biomed grads

I AM a final-year biomedical science student in a local university. I realise that there are not many career opportunities for a student like me. I have been following the recruitment pages in The Star and other papers as well as online job advertisements for the past six months. I realise that there are more job opportunities for business and IT students compared to science students, especially biological science students.  

We often hear that the biotechnology industry is expanding rapidly and our country is lacking scientists and yet, most of our seniors end up as salesmen. This makes me wonder why our government is pushing for more science students when the job market in Malaysia is not ready to absorb these science graduates. My friends in other sciences such as biotechnology, genetics, etc, are also asking the same question.
