I'm in Pre-pharm right now and thinking of changing majors because im getting tired of the workload and its just going to get worse, I also started school late and want to have a life sometime before I hit 30.
So does anyone know any good jobs for biology majors? If I decide to change majors I would like to pick something that will be useful for the classes I have already taken, which is mainly bio and chem classes with some math.
I'm looking for something that makes decent money and the schooling isnt so competitive, but also job avaliability isnt crap.
What are some good jobs for biology major students?
Working for major corporations (manufacturers) in the lab either testing or developing or both. Either way, a biology major is demanding too. You will find that they STILL add more courses and offer it one semester every year often. As for pharmacy, my brother-in-law went to school for this in his 30's and has been a pharmacist for over ten years...he is burned out. Talk to other pharmacists to see how they feel about their field. The truth of the matter is they are in demand and overworked because of it. Definitely a competitive field, but many won't cut it. Just being able to fill the bottles and do the science won't get you ahead. He has been a manager for quite some time. So do a little research....it may still be what you need to be in.
