Dear Friend,

As you have mentioned that you have taken admission in Texas, A&M University, USA to pursue PhD in Microbiology, it will be wise to complete your course and then decide upon your area of work- USA or India.

There are numerous openings in India for candidates who have done M. SC in Microbiology.

For your reference some of the opening or positions you can apply for as per your qualification is concerned are:
Medical Microbiologist.
Lecturer for Microbiology.
Lab Technician Microbiology.
Quality Engineer- Senior Quality Assurance Officer Microbiology in FMCG Industry.
AGM Quality Assurance- in any highly progressive research based health management companies.
Production Scientific Officer for Vaccine/Injectable.

A microbiology professional certainly get more research based work in the USA and more money as the labour cost in USA is more than what is in India.
But whether you want to pursue your career in India or USA depends upon you. Because the cost of living is also an important factor when we are living abroad in a place like USA.

If you do not have family and financial problems in India, then it will be wise to stay back in USA and pursue your career.


Best of Luck
