Biology Majors

What career are you working in or pursuing bio majors?
I'm thinking of getting into this bio thing, but don't really know anything about the career landscape.

If I roll any number at all, you have to go into bioinformatics.

OH SHIT NIGGA HE GOT A NUMBER

WHAT WERE THE ODDS
OP A BIOLOGIST NOW

what's wrong with bioinformatics?

nvm I get it
I think
any serious posts tho
that would be groovy

>nvm I get it
I don't, what is wrong with it? Is it just a meme field like astrophysics and anything quantum?

I think it just doesn't involve biology as much as other biological fields
i know nothing about bioinformatics other than a 10 second google search tho so i could be wrong

isn't bioinformatics just annotating genomes?

interdisciplinary field, so it has all the hallmarks of a meme degree like video game design
the difference being that bioinformatics is immensely useful and interesting field, though you probably wouldn't need a degree on it specifically

Don't go into general biology unless you have connections because you will be unemployable

Go into a 21st century biology field like molecular biology or bioinformatics or genetics, and expect to get a graduate degree

Experience in a lab is more important than book knowledge

Decide now if you would rather work in academia or industry and start building your path that way ( advantages of academia is job security, disadvantages are the difficulty of getting a position. The opposite is true for industry )
