Dear Jai Deep, Worthiness is completely dependent upon how much you make it worthy. Yes, I think food technology has good career prospects provided you do this course from a globally reputed institution with high placement index (foreign university could be the best option). But my suggestion is that please don't stop yourself after doing just B.Tech, you need to have M.Tech degree as well because this field is new in India.
