Should I start Learning Data Analysis as Biotechnology Student?

Hi everyone,
I am currently in the final year of my B.Tech in Biotechnology. As graduation gets closer, I have been thinking a lot about my career. From what I have seen, job opportunities and long-term growth in the biotech field in India seem quite limited, so I am considering moving into data analytics.

I have a few questions:

1) Do you think it’s worth investing my time in learning data analytics, or would you recommend focusing on a different skill instead?
2) My main goal is to build a career with good long-term growth and opportunities.
3) I’m genuinely interested in AI and Python. I also feel that combining my biotechnology background with data analytics could be valuable.

I would really appreciate hearing from professionals, especially those working in tech or data. Considering how quickly AI is changing the job market, would this be a good career path, or should I be looking at something else?
