Many articles in the non-science media have promoted bio-technology as the latest, greatest place to find a job. While this could indeed be true, it has a great deal to do with the specific niche that a person studies and the lab. You can't jump into molecular biology and land, as your article states, "high salaries, unheard of salaries for people with [molecular biology] skills."
I'd prefer to see the excellent Profession section of The Scientist continue to develop articles that aid and assist the job seeker, rather than thumbing the nose at those hundreds or thousands of people who may be caught in academic studies that aren't of interest to bio-industry.
