<p>I know of some of the careers you can have with a BS in biology. I was looking into specializing in virology or endocrinology (diseases in general). I want a decent job, but I also do not want to have to spend 6 years to earn a PhD in order to be satisfied with my job. Help, maybe?</p>
<p>you could work for the CDC without a terminal degree, as far as I know.</p>
<p>I am a graduate with a BS in biology and if you seriously want to do something in the bio field, you'll definitely need a Ph.D.!</p>
<p>After I graduated, I searched for a year and half (sending out thousands of resumes all over the country) and I still cant land a job in the bio field! (I currently have a job that I could have got with just high school, and I needed to take it to repay student loans).</p>
<p>Trust me, I speak from experience, you will be competing with Ph.D.'s for simple lab/research assistant jobs because they are willing to settle for assistant jobs because the market out there for people with bio degrees is rapidly decreasing for some odd reason.</p>
<p>Working in research in academics pays ****. Do yourself a favor and go into Medicine, pharmacy, or the business side of industry with your degree.</p>
