I am doing masters in human genetics as of now and want a career in it. But I am unable to find any opportunity (or I might be unware where to look for) as of now to make some money with it through anything that pays just so I sustain myself and at the same time my expertise in the field are strengthened.

To survive, I have taken up a job of SEO content writing for a local business that merely pays enough for me to pay for accommodation and food.

The point I am trying to make is content writing might not be what I would want to pursue in the future yet I am doing it to survive but one the other hand when I am done with the degree, I might end up with no real experience to show for it apart from the degree.

I would like to hear some suggestions to deal with it. Basically the ones which would nudge me in a direction to look for paid opportunities in the field.

To those who have spent basically their life in science particularly in genomics, with AI eating jobs every day, which skills in this field should a newbie develop to survive during these times. I sincerely hope to see some informative answers. Thanks!

My MS human genetics degree completes in 3-4 months and I have zero market experience which I want to change even if it means voluntary online work.

My interest is in variant interpretation. I would love to hear some thoughts on platforms that I can go to gain some real world experience for my skills.

I am doing masters in Human Genetics and recently got interested in NGS data analysis specifically the WGS/WES data analysis.

Asked one professor about how learning this skill will increase my employability. He said these kinda roles mainly require a bioinformatics degree and that it won't add much to my CV while having a Human Genetics degree. Your thoughts?
