Career Counseling: 101+ Things You Can Do with a Degree in Biology
Eyster, Kathleen M.
Advances in Physiology Education, v31 n4 p323-328 Dec 2007
Biology is the science of life and of how living things work. Our students choose to major in biology in college because of a fascination with understanding how living things function, but often they have difficulty in identifying a career that uses their foundation in biology despite the variety of biology-based careers available. The purpose of this discussion is to assist biology students and the career counselors who work with them in identifying satisfying careers that build upon their interest and foundation in biology. The categories of career options include research, healthcare, teaching, science writing, administration/management, government, industry, and miscellaneous careers that do not fit into the other categories. (Contains 8 tables.)
