Hi,
When you ask about a B.Sc in Food Technology versus Anesthesia Technology, the obvious answer would that that there is no direct except that the end goal for both is to make life healthy for people. What I would say is go with where you want to see yourself either helping surgeons save million lives or developing practices to ensure the best food quality to maintain healthier lives.
When we talk about B.Sc in Anesthesia would suggest go for a "3-year B.Sc in Anesthesia and Operation Theatre Techniques", B.Sc. Anesthesia Technology or a Bachelor in nursing and a 1-year Diploma in anesthesia since you would require to know about operat

Hi,
When you ask about a B.Sc in Food Technology versus Anesthesia Technology, the obvious answer would that that there is no direct except that the end goal for both is to make life healthy for people. What I would say is go with where you want to see yourself either helping surgeons save million lives or developing practices to ensure the best food quality to maintain healthier lives.
When we talk about B.Sc in Anesthesia would suggest go for a "3-year B.Sc in Anesthesia and Operation Theatre Techniques", B.Sc. Anesthesia Technology or a Bachelor in nursing and a 1-year Diploma in anesthesia since you would require to know about operations processes also. Another option in to complete your graduation in MBBS and pursue a specialization in Pain, Critical Care, Neuro Anesthesia, Cardiac Anesthesia, Obstetric Anesthesia. This way you can keep your options open. Talking about the scope most surgeons complain that they do not get well trained anesthesiologist to perform surgery. So, there is a pool of opportunity waiting for you out there. A typical starting salary of a MD Anesthesiologist in roughly around 70 - 80k in medical colleges and 80 to 90k in the corporate sector. The trend of having full-time consultants is rising in Indian healthcare.
Coming to food technology there are a number of options that you can opt for such as:
B.Sc in food processing, food storage, preservation and food tech
B.Tech in food technology/ food science
The Indian Food Industry is currently valued at USD $39.71 billion, and the value is likely to reach USD $65.4 billion by 2018 (Govt. of India and IBEF). According to DIPP, the Indian Food Processing sector has received around USD $6.7 billion as FDI between April 2000 and December 2015. The investments are poised to reach the value of USD $33 million in the next 10 years.
Besides the investment factor, the opportunity factor is also there as per the data from the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, 42% of the Indian Food Processing Industry is still unorganized (D&B) so promising for the future within the food industry. As a fresher, a food technologist (or scientist) can earn INR 20 - 25K per month (average) in India.
Within 5 years, you can reach INR 500,000 - 640,000 per annum. With an experience of 10 years on your CV, you can expect annual package of INR 900,000 - 1,180,000.
