<p>What does one do with a phd in the biological sciences? Other than academia?
Would industry related jobs give the same importance to a masters degree?</p>
<p>From the few industry jobs that I've looked at in the biological sciences- most only require a masters. However, they tend to equate a PhD with extra years of experience in the field, so I would imagine it helps quite a bit.</p>

<p>Biotech comes to mind. Or, if you go into defense, some contractors have biodefense programs and the like, which I guess is a subset of biotech.</p>
