<p>Hey CCers, </p>
<p>Other than go into medicine, what are some things you can do with a biological sciences degree?</p>
<p>Get a PhD and do research, get a teaching certificate and teach....</p>
<p>... do research without a PhD, write for a magazine...</p>
<p>... work for a think tank. Do bioethics philosophy. Represent a pharmaceutical company. Go to law school. Spend two years in research and get an MBA. Become a professional sailer. Or poker player.</p>
<p>Seriously, major is not nearly so limiting as you might think.</p>
<p>At some high-tier schools, your major basically doesn't matter in the least. So you could go into finance, consulting, anything you want, really.</p>
<p>A bachelor's degree in biology will not really get you anything. You wont make more than 40k. However, if you go on to grad school, then that's a different story.</p>
<p>TCC is wrong. If you're using the degree, your starting salary won't exceed $40K, but then, whose does at age 22? (Some, but very few.) But you can get jobs outside that degree. And even if you're in a job that uses it, you're going to progress anyway.</p>
<p>The point is that major is not so limiting as many people seem to think, especially if you're at a good school to begin with.</p>
<p>I was assuming that the OP wanted to work in the biological field?? If not, BDM is right, major is not that limiting. For instance, I got a BA in anthropology and ended up with grad degrees in biol/ecol.</p>
<p>If the **** hits the fan, then you can always get an MBA</p>
