Any suggestions besides Doctor or any career in which the salary is less than $55,000

The only way you're going to make over $55,000 is to get your PhD and become a researcher or professor.

Exactly, it applies to all sciences but especially to biology. You need further qualifications to do anything really.

vet? i hear they make as shit load of money

research is always shitty money

you could also be a nutritionist

basically, you only get a good paycheck with biology if you actually serve people directly.

If you did microbiology, you could get a job at some federal or state agencies.

With a general biology B.S. degree, there won't be a ton of job possibilities that start above 50,000. You'd have to either specialize or get the advanced degree(preferred option IMO).

Conservationist.

If you can't find work within the field, you can always go work in a cushy government job. Additional certifications aren't hard to get within biology.

It really depends on your interests.

Princeton Review's website is good for giving information on majors and careers associated with them, but it is fucking up and not letting me get past the search screen for some reason.

If you want to work in the field, expect to do graduate study. On the other hand, there are plenty of unrelated jobs out there for people that just happen to have a college degree. My old store manager had a biology degree in fact. Not a very appealing job, but he made about $70k a year.

A lot of premeds are biology majors. A lot of premeds that never go to medical school go into sales in the medical field. Could be drugs, could be surgical equipment or other machines and whatnot.

shit man, no majors seems to be good in this day and age. I plan on majoring in something like biology, preferably Biotechnology...

A buddy I work w/ graduated with a degree in Wildlife Conservation. Did some stint out in the pacific northwest doing a gov. survey on spotted owls, which lasted 6 mo. Time was up and he couldn't find SHIT afterwards out there in terms of jobs so he came back.

Need higher learnings for sure. :\

But I'm equally fucked right now as a Bio major. We'll see what happens.

synthetic biology looks really cool.

Biotech has been going healthy the past few years, and for my own sake, I hope it continues to do so. *fingers crossed*


But a higher degree is becoming more and more essential.

I'm taking a bio degree, and I can't think of any job in biology that doesn't require some form of a graduate degree to actually go somewhere.
Most fields in the science area tend to follow that pattern too.

I'm currently majoring in bio. I can do three years of bio then do three years at a pharmacy school and then make 80k plus straight out of school.

NOAA offers many many jobs for bio majors. You could definitly go straight out of college into that and probablly retire at 45-55. Gov Jobs FTW
