/sci/ - Science & Math

Recently finished my master in biology and want to pursue a phd, im struggling however for what to go for. Theres an open position at my former uni where i know a few ppl and i probably have good chances of getting it, however im afraid to box myself in on plant research. I can get into every research topic so motivation over the 3-4 years isnt the problem but id like to know how important the research topic of your phd is for your further career (preferrably in the industry but academia not excluded).
