<p>if you major in human biology, what are the jobs you’ll most likely get? what kind of jobs can you get? what careers or paths does human biology take you to?</p>
<p>Uhhhh Doctors?/Pharmacists?/Dentists? I thought you knew.</p>

<p>A degree in human biology qualifies you for a wide variety of jobs. This degree provides a foundation to pursue veterinary, dental or medical school paths, in addition to positions in research and development, laboratory testing, instruction, production, and quality control.</p>
<p>Human biology provides a broad base from which to draw upon, but many new jobs in the biotech industry want students to have specific training in highly focused techniques. It may take more effort for a HB student to break into some of the specialized research and development positions than students with a degree that is immediately recognizable (biochemistry, clinical lab science, etc.) Students should therefore take full advantage of the independent research and internship opportunities that exist in their university program.</p>
<p>Students planning careers as biologists need strong mathematical skills, and should like working with computers. Perseverance, curiosity, and the ability to concentrate on detail and to work independently are essential. The human biology curriculum should help you develop skills that are valued by employers. These skills include the ability to analyze complex issues, to identify a problem and the means of solving it, to synthesize and integrate information, to make effective use of numerical information, and to work cooperatively and constructively with others.</p>
<p>Good oral and written communication skills are critical; many scientists work as part of a team, write research papers or proposals, and have contact with clients or customers with non-science backgrounds. Experience through internships, undergraduate research, or co-op programs is highly valued by employers and graduate schools.</p>
<p>Although there are career opportunities for graduates with only a baccalaureate degree, most professional biologists hold either a Master’s degree or a Ph.D. For this reason, individuals interested in careers in biology should give careful consideration to graduate study. Research the different jobs available at the BS, MS, and PhD levels as a part of choosing your major.</p>
