I studied biology planning to go to medical school, life changed for the good so I didn’t go to med school. I joined a biotech company as a laboratory technician and in 16 years I have had roles a scientist, process engineer, project manager and Director of strategy in multiple companies and locations. I can assure that there’s a lot of more options than the ones I have chosen. If you love science and are curious, the biology degree could bring a rewarding career for you.
Where are you from?
Thank you for the inspiration
I can’t get any of those jobs with a bsc do I need a masters ?
Did you need to get a PhD?
Ohh wow is it possible to contact you for advice?
I attained a B.S. Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Afterwards, I attended a state college for a masters in secondary education in one year with a 4.0 (very easy) I took all praxis tests (Biology, math, writing, reading). The following year, I taught high school Biology, anatomy and physiology, zoology, and wrote curriculum and instruction during the summer. I hope this helps... it was acheap, easy and fast pace to a career. Also, i was one of the first teachers to implement the STEM program (i was part of the trial run for the program the first year)
Haven't been able to find work with a biology degree, but this video helped pep me up to the wide-range of possibilities. Even if I need a little more school or to move, I'll be okay and the bio degree wasn't useless. Thank you!

@@Conniferrhe died
I initially went to school to be a veterinary technician and got my associate's degree back in 2010. When I moved states to a place that required national certification, I intended to just get whatever job possible to save up for the exam and then go back into it, but I ended up working at a law firm and have been a legal assistant for the last 8 years. Next spring I start classes toward a bachelor's degree in Botany. I opted for that over a general biology degree because it involved a little less chemistry and I can get it online through a university 40 minutes away. It should also serve me well as a base point to eventually get a master's degree in either genetics or ecology and environmental science. I still haven't made up my mind on which path to go on with that.
I used a 24/7 tutoring service which I am fairly sure is through the Princeton review. Appreciate you guys.
which service?
I’m currently teaching High School Biology and I love the experience, but I still want to learn more about human biology/neuroscience, so haven’t decided yet if I should or not follow medical school or a different branch, still I will never regret studying biology, it has been the best decision I could have made 🙌🏻.
This video just solidified my decision to major in biology.
dont
Why?@@isailevilopez5134
As a holder of a bachelor's degree in biology, I work in a call center 🤓🤡
Tell me bout it
😭😭😭😭
Shit, that’s what I’m doing rn, even more motivated now ! 😷
Look into clinical research
Noooooooo
I'm currently at a lab as a zoologist, but I don't know if it's for me... the video was great at showing me other options, thank you.
Great video, thank you! After I earn my bachelors degree in Biology, I plan on earning my PhD in virology.
I am applying to become a Biology Teacher. I got support from my parents and siblings for it! 😄 I'll keep giving my best!
Good evening sir, I want to study biology and become a teacher also. So what are the subject combination for that sir.
If you are not going to med school pls dont bother studying biology and find something else that can get u a higher paying jobs
Why
I have a biomedical science degree and have worked in labs for a year and a half. They both shut down because they are covid labs so I gave up and am now working in childcare. well confused about future plans. my heart is in helping people, and I enjoy some aspects of biology, but not everything. Don’t know where to begin.
Hello shreya
Where are you now?
@@wercretive im going into teaching science now! hope things are taking a turn for the better :) wbu?
I'm a freshman in college as a behavioral neuroscience major and am still determining the career I want. I don't want to take chemistry or physics, and I can't tell if it's worth it since I need to figure out what to do with the degree. I love bio and psych, though; any thoughts?
I'm a freshman in biology, I can honestly say I love what I learn and I can see my self in many many fields doing things I would do for free as hobby. I would say you're probably in the wrong field if you can't Invision a future 🙂❤️
Im a bio major and minor in chem and still can't find a job. I need a teacher certificate and the content. That costs bout 7 to 10k nowadays. Crazy life. .
That’s exactly how I am, and it makes it just that much more difficult to reach the goal of getting out of debt
I’m a bio major and Chemistry minor too! I am studying to be a teacher but yes the costs are crazy
me too am just a uni student now with a bsc in bio and chemistry majors
Honours Bachelor Science in Biology. Focused myself on Botany and Ecology. Work in Government now. Environmental policy. This degree can lead you wherever you want it to!
Hi i'm in my first year biology undegraduate student, and i feel afraid if i can't get any good career if i graduate later. Thankyou for your video so i can get my confidence again, my dream was in public health major but i didn't make it, as i dream to be an epidemiologist, but i also interested in bio technology and industrial biologi like quality conrol and others
Thankyou for sharing and sorry for my bad english
Currently graduated with a bio degree in the arts and now I don’t know what to do with it.
Thanks sir 👍
I will be doing bsc in biology at brandon uni in manitoba. can you tell me the program courier and job opportunities or any other thing related to it.
As a biology major graduate, I ended to in a chemical plant as an operator, 🤡
Where I lost my arm 🤡
How did that happen?
I'm so sorry for your sad experience, please take care :(
Bruhh
Just graduated with the degree in BS BIOLOGY and still don’t know what’s the next step to do 😅
Me too
Heyy... I'm also thinking to do bsc in biology can u help me

I plan to get a PhD in phytotherapy
i am currently studying biology in the university and i am still thinking of my specialize areas without going to a medical school
help out please
Hey how is it going?
Having worked in the medical field for years. Due to the low pay and lack of leadership I would suggest not bothering with it.
I was originally a microbiology major and then I recently decided to add computer science as another major because of the low opportunity with just an undergraduate degree in bio
@@TDDVlogs Honestly that’s the case with almost every single major. CS isn’t any better. Legit everyone I know is taking CS, it’s just a phase and hyped right now. Choose whatever makes you the most happy.
@@hugochen2293 you literally couldn’t be any more wrong, I’m only a few months into my new comp sci program, and I’ve already had more opportunities to network and build my resume than I ever had during my entire 4 years in biology. Lots of people are taking comp sci because an undergraduate comp sci degree will get you WAY more jobs than an undergraduate biology degree because it teaches you practical skills in the workplace that apply to MANY jobs, and there is data that shows this. I agree that you should do what makes you happy, but it would be foolish to also say that all degrees have low opportunity at the bachelor level
@@hugochen2293 it’s not even just comp sci, accounting, finance, many other business majors, engineering, nursing, mathematics, statistics and economics all leader to greater success after undergraduate graduation than biology does, I just picked comp sci because I enjoyed it the most
@@TDDVlogs What sounds harder to your ears? 1. Certified Public Accountant or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?
I'm currently active duty probably going to get chaptered for misconduct but I have spent 10 years In the military currently trying to decide if biology would be a good feild to major in
Get rekt
for me i have not yet joined college, i am still in secondary, but its your turn to advise for the best faculty to join which will be of the first for me.but i need to join biomedical engineering

The truth is that biology degrees are so common now that you're just one of many out there with it. I know, I have an undergrad and masters in biology. Even if you get a masters degree in biology (or related field) you're not likely to get a job. I tried for 3 years after graduating to get a job in the field. I volunteered, I offered to work/do internships for free just to get my foot in the door. Nope, didnt matter. Five years after graduation, I gave up trying to land something in the field. Because I knew it was pointless. So yeah, dont waste your time or your money doing a bio-related degree. You'll just end up working in job that you could obtained with just a high school diploma in the end.
it isnt common at all and even if it were why is that a bad thing lol
@@XXX-hc9cdit’s extremely common just like childhood Ed and nursing
I held a Bachelor degree in microbiology , unfortunately it has been a year and 5 months with nothing not even training because of the numbers of graduates from the same major and I feel so useless, I tried everything called ,emailed and physically applied for roles but every time I get apologizes because of the number of graduates
Hey how is it going?
Update?
Can’t find any job willing to hire a bio major. That pays better than Uber starting.
Clinical research or pharma jobs is the only higher paying for a biology degree
Look for jobs requiring a STEM degree
I did my medical degree out of country…am I eligible to become a biology teacher?
i am currently doing my associates in biology and i intend to be a pediatrician if possible🙂😊
Hey how’s it going?
Also can you do a video on for people that want to work with animals and have a biology degree besides veterinarians
Yes please, I want to know about this too.
I am a biology major, specializing in molecular biology, and I plan on helping unite game developers who, like me, want to use games and other software to usheer in a new era in higher education.
I am not familiar with this topic. How can you help them with a biology degree?
I'm studying Bachelors of Science and I think I'll major in Genomics and Bioinformatics and I aspire to work as a Clinical Scientist, I don't want to enter academia. But becoming a Clinical Scientist is so hard 🥲 hopefully I'll be able to do it!!
I need a reality check people, I am thinking about a degree in Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences (Conservation Biology and Ecology). I'm a 50 year old man in love with the world and all living things, I'm close to retirement from my current profession (having nothing in common with this) and would like to maybe be a Park Ranger, work at a Zoo or anything having to do with preserving our planet but any ideas would help, thank you.
forestry / natural sciences, sorry for being late
I want to major in biology and concentrate in ecology and evolutionary biology but I either want to be a wildlife biologist or do something with evolution are there any jobs where you can study animals in evolution?
i am in the absolute same boat as you, im a freshman in college right now
Did you happen to find your answer?
thank you so much for this video! im thinking of doing a bio degree, but im most interested in ecology and conservation and climate change. is a bio degree a good idea?
Environmental science is better suited for these disciplines.
no. i have one, its worthless
I have biomed in BSc and molecular biology in MSc and still confused what role and career there is. Don't do it
@@andreafelix1256 you have which degree?? Environmental science?? You haven’t been able to find work for that career?
@@matiasbeccaglia8786 do enviornmental science, do NOT do a general bio degree. It is too generalized and gives you no qualifications. I've learned that the hard way.
I am a biology major at UNCW and am struggling to discover job opportunities in Jacksonville, North Carolina

@@sahib8067 sure np.. its actually fun its like basically have to study about things like the type of virus n bacteria n how the human body over all works ofc they will teach you how to sett up a lab experiment n teach u how to use microscope
... so when it comes to university u can chose something related to science
@@sahib8067 hi am aspiring to study biology and am very intersted in body sci and i dont want purse as a doctor .....i need to be an biologist and i need to work in canada .. does i sound right ? please answer
@@sanjana.jjayaseelan3371 you want to do associate of science in biology or directly want admission in bachelors? In associate of science biology you will study first two years of graduation and then you can work and after if you want to complete your bachelors which is of 4 years you can complete remaining 2 years whenever you want
What is the different from BS and BA can I be a microbiologist in both
It depends on the specific school. If they offer both then the BS might have more requirements.
I am considering a BS in Biology to be a clinical scientist. I am hoping to get a MS in genetics to do genetic research…😁
I'm 38 and am wondering if it's too late to work on a biology degree. I think I finally know what I want to do. Is it too late to start a career?
It’s never too late
As long as you’re still breathing its not too late
Thank you! My confidence and motivation lately is not where I would like it to be. These comments are helpful
no! go for it! its never too late. we had one or two people over 20 years older than us when i was in uni, and we were all below 20. she used to sit in our classes like any other student! whats stopping you

Will I be able to transfer and is it possible for me to get an internship while studying? Please answer. I hope to go to my local college in the spring
Sounds like you need to speak to a careers adviser. Check your school's website/ ask them in person. There is also government run webaites that can guide you on careers, sometimes they have contact number too.

Benifits and disadvantages as well, interesting how you only pointed out benifits. You can't go into studies biased. One thing I am working hard at.
Can I be a doctor with bachelor degree of biology,”?
Yes
But you can have an undergrad degree in anything to go to medical school
Getting into medical school? Yes. Start being a DOCTOR because you have a bachelor's? Absolutely NOT.
@Grayambition that's true. Though you also need to meet requirements medical schools have. Which usually include what a bachelors in Biology offers. You would extend your time at a university if you do a bachelors that's not in biology
Don’t study Biology, study clinical laboratory science instead.
