Title: options for a biology major and chemistry minor from a state school? Post by: endgame on May 18, 2013 Hello, I'm a junior undergraduate student aiming for a biology degree and chemistry minor from Illinois State University. The school is not known for its science programs. I switched to biology from biology education and didn't transfer because I am established their. I don't plan on being a doctor but I do plan to go to graduate school for science. Anyway, what are my career options if I don't go to to graduate school? What are some good graduate schools for genetics, horticulture or botany in the United States Midwest? I have a 3.3 gpa at the moment.

Post by: bio_man on May 18, 2013 Hi endgame, I think I read an article somewhere which stated that biology is one of the worst graduate degrees when it comes to finding a job. Upon graduating, you can find a job teaching at a post-secondary institution. You could work as a lab technician for a pharmaceutical company, or at a university preparing chemicals and lab protocols for university students. Congratulations on your GPA, I'm assuming it's out of 4? In all honesty, all graduate schools are alike, no matter how prestigious the school might seem. They all have one thing in common, they want your money in return for a degree.
