What are some nonscience job opportunities in a biotechnology company? Why would it still be useful to have some science background for these positions?
What will be an ideal response?
Some nonscience biotechnology jobs include working in regulatory affairs, marketing,
sales, and the legal department of the company. Because the company products are ultimately
biological in nature, employees will better understand how to do their jobs if they know the
science as well. For example, if a sales representative does not understand any of the science
behind the product they are selling, they cannot easily answer any questions the prescribing
physician might ask them.
