But there are two main directions for our professional job search. One is to be a workshop technician and the other is to be a medical representative. Most of my classmates are doing these jobs now. Of course, civil servants can also be admitted to the Food and Drug Administration. I suggest that it is better for girls to take the civil service exam, and boys are more suitable to be workshop technicians.
During the school period, you can obtain qualification certificates such as drug inspectors and nutritionists.
If you learn to a higher level, you can engage in a lot of new technologies such as human genome project, stem cell technology and tissue engineering, bioinformatics, transgenic animals and plants, cloning technology, biochip, gene therapy, cell therapy and so on.
Since 1980s, the world pharmaceutical market has been growing at the rate of 8- 10% every year, and the pharmaceutical market in China has been growing at the rate of about 20%. The world pharmaceutical market 1994 was $246.7 billion, in 2000 it was $350 billion, and it is expected to exceed 1000 billion in 2020. This figure is far higher than the growth level of other chemical industries.
Moreover, there are 5082 pharmaceutical preparations and raw materials manufacturers in China, and these pharmaceutical enterprises are the main destinations for pharmaceutical engineering graduates. According to the requirements of the development of pharmaceutical industry and the training objectives of pharmaceutical engineering, pharmaceutical engineering students can engage in drug production, new drug development and enterprise management after graduation. Thus, the employment prospects of pharmaceutical engineering are very broad.
