About this time last year I was yacking on about wanting to go back to uni
to do a degree of in molecular biology, biotechnology, or anything else that
will put me on the technical track toward being involved (eventually) in
manipulation of dna and increasing control of the eukaryotic cell, and
eventually in the vicinity of molecular nanotech (as it begins to appear,
assuming that it does.
Last year I decided not to do it (mainly for reasons of finances &
overcommitment in other areas of my life), but this year I'm really going to
start. I'm contrained by work to distance delivery, and to doing it part
time.
I was considering another undergrad science degree, but then ran across
this. I'd like the opinion of knowledgable people from the field; what do
you think of this degree? Does it look like I could do serious work in the
biotech based on it, or is it more for becoming involved in
policy/management in related areas?

If people have alternative suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Bear in mind
I'm in Oz (in Adelaide), I work full time, I have a science degree (computer
science and some maths).
