Post your degrees niggas

>masters in English
>a life full of happiness and intellectual calisthenics

Because a bachelors is garbage in comparison of earning power to other STEM jobs but in lab jobs once you get experience in the lab and a masters or higher you have lab management jobs available.To get that job though you need to start with a bachelors in the Biological/Chemical sciences though.

>tfw doing a PhD regardless of memes
I intend to milk this shit as much as I can since they offer small tutoring sessions or classes for shekels.

why don't you do something useful with what you already know, and try to get paid for that?

wouldn't that be the contrary, i.e., so broad, that you need to specialize and keep studying for years to get hired?

just seeing that thumb in catalog made my day; thanks OP

>I don't know what you mean by STEM zones but all the bio jobs for people with only a BS are in low tier medicine labs. That industry is saturated as FUCK and wages low.

I don't disagree with this at face value, but I think that there's more to it.

For bio majors just out of undergrad, this is pretty much the case. The available jobs in research are largely confined to lab tech positions in academia, and maybe a few QC/QA jobs in small to mid-size biotechs.

But, after a few years as a lab tech, the opportunities seem to widen. RA positions in industry R&D, business development in big pharma and biotech, consulting, etc., as well as (assumed) better odds for grad school, or professional school (medicine, law, business). school.

I would agree with this. Also, there are a number of jobs in biotech and big pharma sectors besides in R&D that pay quite well (management, business development, consulting, finance, etc.).

Yes and no. The biology undergrad degree is very broad. IMO, the most important factor in getting a job is undergrad research experience. There are a number of different sub-discipline "tracks" that most degree programs have. You specialize in your upper-level electives and join a lab in a particular area (say, genetics or biochemistry or whatever) in undergrad, and this makes you more qualified for research jobs.

Build work experience for your resume and maintain at the very least a 3.0gpa. Getting an internship, preferably in the field you want to pursue post grad, is possibly the smartest decision you'll make during your undergrad. Employers want candidates with proven work ethic and the ability to contribute to their firm with minimal required training; professional references and experience are the only way to show that. A good GPA doesn't hurt.
