Lol, you don't need absolute top grades here. Not that I know of. Of course, it's better to get top grades to get into a job easier, but if you don't, you can do other things to get into the job you want. Top grades only way to get a job = big nono.

Biotechnicians are needed everywhere. All the food places, research labs, CSIRO etc etc.

My sister was doing Biomedical Science, but the jobs available at the time were slim and boring so she dropped the course. She was aiming for biotechie too I think, or something irrelevant.

Haha really? I guess it depends. At the moment, the Australian government wants more science people (or so I've heard from my friend) so I'm hoping by the time I graduate it wouldn't be completely difficult to find a job. I know my sister's friend who did the same course as me found a full time job the year after she graduated.

Just dont conduct any weird experiments. Don't make the same mistake that Dr. Frankenstein did.

EDIT: I just saw that with this post, my name title changed to "Zombie". What are the odds...?

Maybe it's a warning. Or not... Lol.

You should go out and buy BRAND new ones so you can resell them back to the school for money.

School buys new ones in bulk, so they get a discount anyway. So your idea won't work.

Do you mean Einstein?

And nooo all scientists must conduct some weird experiments in order to do something useful. -nodnod- xDD
