<p>I was planning on majoring in biomedical engineering, but I recently went to an engineering event, and I realized that engineering is not for me. I really enjoy biology, but I don't want to be a bio major because I am not positive that I want to go to medical school. Are there any majors that are bio based that you can get a good job (50k+ starting salary) with a bachelor's degree?</p>
<p>Hey, I was interested in getting a Nursing degree a couple years back, but after having worked in that environment for awhile I realized it wasn’t for me. </p>
<p>You may be interested in Nursing (since you enjoy Biology) but there’s a lot of competition. Going down the Associates route you can pass your NCLEX-RN exams and become a nurse. Bls.gov and Monster Salary may have you believe the average salary is $60k plus but the majority of the nurses I have met make between $40K and $60k depending on experience and setting (hospitals pay a lot more than nursing homes). </p>

<p>This is a very informative resource where you can look at particular professions and the their job growth/market factors/degree required. Requires a bit of sifting through but I am certain you’ll be fine. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Consider public health. You may need a MPH, though some colleges (e.g. JHU and Yale) offer BS/MPH degrees.</p>
<p>Have you looked at bioinformatics?</p>

<p>personal trainer, you would do a kinesiology degree. or physiotherapist. Why do you not want to do biomedical engineering? unfortunately with the starting salary that you want, bioengineering is probably your best bet.</p>
