Your future would be what you can make of it based on your prior and current experiences and background. If you want to enhance your prospects you should look for MTech or PhD in chemistry and allied interdisciplinary science to substantiate or establish your credibility in the type of career profile you want in the future. The more reputed the institution where you pursue your higher attainments, the better would be your credibility in the job market. However, admission into reputed institutions is also very competitive. You need to assess whether you have the right mind-set for the approach suggested. Indicative examples.(25.02.2009)
