<p>Is it really that hard to find a job with science majors? I have heard that there are no job opportunities for science majors and it will be hard to find one unless you go to grad school like medicine. Is this true? </p>
<p>Thinking of majoring in either Marine Biology, Animal Science, Ecology, Zoology?</p>
<p>For your intended majors those are tough jobs to find.</p>
<p>Out of all 4 majors, I like Animal Science the best. Should I not major in science then?</p>
<p>If you really love something then you should major in it and work relentlessly to do what you need to do to get the job you want. But go into it with your eyes wide open with full knowledge of the job market and what it will take to get your job. Don’t give up on your dream job, just know what you need to do to make it a reality. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

Passion is not going to magically generate a well paying job when there are almost none. That is idealistic nonsense. This isn’t Star Wars where you can use the force to alter the universe with your will. Science is simply not a viable career path anymore and no amount of passion or force of will is going to alter that.</p>

<p>I’m just curious – if science isn’t a “viable career path anymore,” then what is?</p>
<p>Nursing Doctor anything healthcare that requires professional school.
HR, Accounting, Finance, economics (business)
Engineering or Computer Science
Blue Collar Trades</p>
<p>Anything healthcare is science related, as is engineering. Do you think blue collar workers design all the equipment in hospitals?</p>
<p>While I agree that thinking positive thoughts will fix a bad situation is delusional, I would disagree that the science field is no longer viable. Maybe the fields that the OP listed might have slim job outlooks, but there will always be a need for scientists.</p>
<p>The problem is, biology type majors are extremely popular among college students (probably in part due to all of the pre-meds who did not get into any medical school), so there is a flood of new biology graduates each year that overwhelms the number of jobs available.</p>
<p>Of the sciences, computer science, applied math (depending on the application), and statistics tend to have the best job and career prospects at the bachelor’s degree level. Physics and maybe geology majors do ok, although physics majors sometimes find jobs that are not really physics jobs (engineering, computer software, finance).</p>

<p>Yes it might be a bit hard to find jobs in non-medical related science majors. My brother was a Marine Biology major–now working as a high school teacher. Good luck!</p>
