Biological Sciences

<p>What jobs can I get with a masters in Biological Sciences?</p>

<p>It depends on what your specialty is. Wildlife, plants, molecular, cell, or micro. Overall all biology disciplines are difficult to get a decent job with without getting a professional school degree.</p>

<p>Molecular/cell tends to be biotech/pharma oriented and anything pharma is suffering greatly as pharma’s off-shoring most discovery work to China and India. Your best bet is to focus on regulatory compliance as that is not as easy to outsource.</p>

<p>Micro tends to be quality or clinical. Both tend to pay quite poorly.</p>

<p>Wildlife, most jobs are in academia or govt. Very few jobs relative to number of graduates and other than fed jobs they pay very badly. In fact, given that biology is among the most popular degrees and how few science jobs there are left in this country (especially biology and many biology jobs actually prefer chemistry grads for their better quantitative and lab skills) There are large numbers of unemployed biology grads and PhD’s in endless post doc limbo. </p>

<p>[Bachelors</a> degree in Biology, what can you do with it? - Career Advice | Indeed.com](<a href=“http://www.indeed.com/forum/gen/Career-Advice/Bachelors-degree-Biology-can-you-do-it/t132436]Bachelors”>http://www.indeed.com/forum/gen/Career-Advice/Bachelors-degree-Biology-can-you-do-it/t132436) </p>

<p>This discussion seems to correlate with what I’ve seen personally.</p>

<p>From what I’ve seen the disciplines closer to biology other than engineering tend to have worse job prospects.</p>

<p>Biology < Biochemistry < chemistry << engineering or business (accounting, finance, economics, HR).</p>

<p>Not very high paying ones. Go with bs in bio, masters in bioeng. or biomedeng.</p>
