Microbiology is a great field to learn, and the subject matter is
wonderful. Employment opportunities are another matter.
The employment situation in UK as I understand it is somewhat more
difficult than in the US.
Primary employers of microbiologists = academic institutions,
government, agriculture and food industry, hospitals, pharmaceutical
companies.
All of the above have relatively limited job opportunities or low
pay. Science careers tend to be unstable.
Note too that the preparation for careers in each subfield may be
different from each other.
