Hi Vishwa,
Being a M.Sc in Microbiology pass out you have two main defined disciplines to pursue a career i.e. Education and Research. With a M.Sc degree you can apply to teach in various institutions or you may write to qualify NET for the posts of lectureship.
Research is another huge domain that you may enter but for this one would require a doctoral program in a specific topic based on your interest.
With SAS being an entirely a different application but can be of help in terms creating and processing analytic but then it is better to go for it if you have had some work experience. With a background of Microbiology, you can opt for Clinical Research as this may be relevant provided you are interested to pursue a career in the same.
It would be better that you either decide among the course options based on your career interests or may inform me about your interest so that I may accordingly provide you more information.

Hi Morish,
Although your experience in agro commodity inspection may be counted to an extent in the new field you are opting for but, agro commodity inspection & shipping/logistics are two different fields so, I would suggest that before taking any decision on changing your field please look into all the pros and cons of this decision as it would not be an easy move especially when you have 9 years of experience in one field & you may also have to start at a lower package and designation. I would also say ponder over the reasons more deeply as to why you want to change your field after having 9 years of experience in it.
However, if you are firm on changing your field I would suggest you to go for a full time MBA in logistics and supply chain or any other full time PG program in the field. Reason why I am advising for a regular program is that regular program from a decent Institute would have great value and will help you to a great extent in changing your field.
Hope this will help you in taking a right decision. Feel free to put up more queries. In case your query is resolved please close this question by choosing it as a best answer or pressing the thumbs up icon.
Thanks,
