So comments still hold true, since he was talking about biology in particular. I’m sure the job prospects for CLS are good, much better than for biology, but the two are not the same thing. Someone with a BS in biology wouldn’t be eligible to sit for CLS licensure and would have to go through quite a bit of additional coursework/labwork/rotations. PhD graduates have difficulty finding professorships in academia, and trouble finding stable placement in It’s great that you found a good position, however, CLS (though biology-related) is not the same as biology. Even if the number of jobs in biotech is growing, the job market is still grossly oversaturated with biology grads, and the available jobs are low-level lab tech gigs.
In fact, your link says nothing about salaries and advancement potential for individuals with a BS in biology (molecular or otherwise), or for that matter an MS in biology (molecular or otherwise), or a PhD in biology (molecular or otherwise). You accuse them of not trying to look up information, but I imagine the reason for that is that they are all familiar with the field in question, that they either have been in the field or know someone in the field or have been exposed to it by working in a related field and thus, know what the employment climate is for people with degrees in biology. Might as well go The document you linked to doesn’t really show anything, nor does it contradict anything the previous posters said. You are at the bottom of the healthcare food chain. There are a lot of poor hours, cuts in the lab so patients don’t see it, states with less regs use AA level techs more and pay less and the doctors and nurses treat you like crap. It pays $38-50k a bit higher in states like CA with licesning requirements. You will get a job but again it is a poor paying lab job but at least no staffing agency. Medical technology is another possibility but I doubt it is worth it. The only biology based degree that has decent career prospects would be probably nursing. It is very much a dead end career not worth the effort to get the degree for. You will be lucky to get that as unemployment is high. It will set you up for terrible lab jobs typically through staffing agencies for $15 an hour no benefits.
#25 with a worthless degree and stuck in a dead end job professional
The best use for a science degree is to get into healthcare professional school otherwise the degree is less than worthless. Thanks!Īny iteration of biology/chemistry/most sciences in general have exceedingly poor job prospects especially at the undergraduate level. Any and all info and comments are appreciated. Not set in stone, but a good idea of which direction I should be going. I'm still a freshman so I know I have some time to work all of this out but I'm the type of guy who likes to plan ahead. The employment outlook once a graduate, along with job requirements for those positions will end up determining if I will be applying to get a Master's Degree right away or if i'll wait a while so I can get some lab experience under my belt. I'm not against being a physician's assistant or anything like that, but I think in general I would prefer sort of a lab type setting to something in a physician's setting. I'm looking for which biology-ish major would be more readily employable in a way. My age considered when I graduate, along with financial limitations, I have no intention of applying to medical school. its about doing what I have genuine interest in and enjoy learning about, and the personal accomplishment that comes along with it.
Army veteran, so for me its not about making the big $$$. I'm 28 years old (soon to be 29) and a U.S. I've tried to research this and keep getting conflicting information. I'm unsure of what the realistic outlook of jobs are in these fields, and what jobs each major is likely to land you once you make it out to the streets. I can't decide between majoring in Biology or Molecular Biology once I get there. Right now, I'm looking at transferring to Montclair State University for my Bachelor's Degree. I'm currently attending a community college in northern NJ where I live and majoring in Biology. Just signed up today and this is my first forum post on here, so bare with me.
