neutral  Elvira Stoianov: this would rather mean busy, not necessarily the meaning that we have here. But that's only my opinion

  -> "Ich bin in der Biotechnologie-Branche beschäftigt" bedeutet "busy"? Hrmpf...
neutral  Gabi François: "beschäftigt" gibt eher die Idee einer festen Anstellung wieder (Stichwort: Beschäftigungsverhältnis).

  -> Soll er ja auch (Vorwurf von Elvira war übrigens genau entgegen dieser Meinung!) Ich dachte immer "occupation" wäre der Beruf oder eben die "Beschäftigung".
agree  Johannes Gleim: occupied = beschäftigt/angestellt; busy = tätig
