I’d really like to study genetic engineering because I find it a cool skill. But at the same time, job positions for genetic engineers are few and far inbetween. So while I’d potentially be good at something few people can do (=high paying). If I studied something like law, I’d be much more flexible geographiclally in terms of finding employment. So I’m wondering whether to aspire to a more common career and take GE as a hobby that I’m studying, or if I should double down on GE and work in a café until I find a job in that. (I might decide I want to pivot away from GE once I learn it anyway.) What do you recomend?

    Oh, I didn’t mean doing GE as a hobby, I meant studying it at university (as a ‘hobby’) but then doing something else for a job because there are only a couple of locations in my country where I could geta job with it.
