What is the biology major like in college?

I like biology, but if I go to college for it, what kind of career could I have?

  • I've thought about obsterics, pediatrics, and other things, but I'm still not sure that's even what I want to do. I think maybe I don't really want to be a doctor at all, but still major in biology, it interests me. What should I do?

  • Answer:

    you can do tons of things........ Acaraologist Biophysicist Embryonic Engineer Agricultural Economist Biostatistician Emergency Medical Assistant Agricultural Nematologist Biotechnologist Emergency Medical Technician Agronomist Bird Pathologist Endocrinologist Algologist Botanist Environmental Biologist Allergist Brewmaster Environmental Consultant Anesthesiologist Cell Biologist Environmental Engineer Anesthetist Cell Culture Operator Environmental Health and Safety Animal Behaviorist Cell Physiologist Environmental Impact Analyst Animal Husbandry Technician Certified Laboratory Assistant Environmental Physiologist Animal Nutritionist Chiropractor Environmental Planner Animal Pathologist Clinical Parasitologist Environmental Public Relations Anthropologist Clinical Technician Environmentalist Apiarist Communication Media Specialist Ethologist Aquaculturist Conservation Warden/Ranger Extension Agent (Farm Advisor) Aquarium Director Cooperative Agricultural Technician Farm Manager Aquatic Biologist Cooperative Extension Service Worker Field Biologist Aquatic Ecologist Crab Mariculturist Fish Culturist Arboriculturist Crime Laboratory Technician Fish Pathologist Archeologist Cytogeneticist Fisheries Biologist Audiologist Cytopathologist Food & Drug Inspector Aviculturist Cytotechnologist Food Processing Manager Bacteriologist Dairy Manager Food Technologist Biochemist Dentist Forensic Pathologist Biological Consultant Developmental Biologist Forensic Service Technician Biological Engineer Dietician Forest Economist Biological Photographer Ecological Consultant Forest Pathologist Biological Process Engineer Economic Botanist Forest Products Technologist Biological Quality Assurance Manager Editor - Science Forest Ranger Biology Teacher Electron Microscopist Forester Biomedical Engineer Technician Electrophoresis Specialist Forestry Technician Biometrician Embryologist Game Manager Geneticist Occupational Therapist Research Technician Genetic Counselor Oenologist Resource Policy Analyst Greenhouse Manager Optician Respiratory Therapist Herpetologist Oral Surgeon Sanitary Engineer Histology Technician Ornithologist Science Librarian Histologist Osteopath Science Writer Horticulturist Paleocologist Sewage Plant Operator Hospital Administrator Paleontologist Silvaculturist Ichthyologist Palynologist Sitviculturalist Immunologist Paramedic Sociobiologist Industrial Hygienist Park Manager Soil Scientist Industrial Waste Specialist Park Naturalist Staff Research Associate Insect Quarantine Inspector Park Ranger Surgeon Lab Technician Park Technician Taxidermist Laboratory Manager Pathologist Taxonomist Laboratory Technician Peace Corps Representative Toxicologist Land Manager Pediatrician Tree Surgeon Landscape Architect Pest Control Specialist Veterinarian Limnologist Pet Shop Owner Veterinary Hospital Assistant Mammalogist Pharmaceutical Sales Rep.

Pharmaceutical industry definitely needs biology experts. Other chemical industry that is human related, environmental science, and even space technology all need biology professions. Who knows, maybe archeology needs biologists to help in providing with biological theories. And there are much, much more, come to think of it!

human biology is much more competitive than general biology, so people will tell you to accept animals. marine biology in particular is fun and outdoorsy. if you want to do human biology, be prepared to do a lot of chemistry or at the least think about becoming a science educator, or someone who teaches how to teach biology. that is a growth industry in biology. good luck.

Well, with a degree (BS) in Biology, most of my friends have become Techs in a laboratory; they assist doctors in research. A good friend of mine works at the University of Arizona working in research on some kind of special moths. Other friends have majored in Biology to go on to Med school--some become professors in higher-ed. There are quite a few things you can do with a degree in biology... besides, it's really interesting and fun.

OK, you're interested in human biology but not necessarily medicine. How about... Pharmacology (drug design) Physical therapy Other research positions in the pharmaceutical industry Forensics Genomics (requires computer knowledge as well) This is just off the top of my head - I have a biology degree but I focused on microbiology and wound up working on crop genetics.

I started out as a pre-med major wanting to get into surgery. Thanks to a great professor, I got an internship at a graduate school's cancer research center. It is not like I thought it would be and I love it. I have even been thinking of teaching. You should go ahead and get a B.S. in general Biology and worry about specifics after you take some classes. You have to get a feel for a little bit in different subfields before making any decisions. Try getting a summer job or internship in something bio related. Study hard!
