If you do not want to be cleaning the cages of animals then I would recommend getting your masters. However if you are open to other experiences that goes beyond animals then I would recommend getting training in medical technology. It is a one year program if you have your degree in biology and you need to make your application during your senior year. Also some labs and universities might hire you as a lab or research assistant. The jobs are there you just have to look closely for them.

A B.S. in Biology is likely going to lead you more toward the laboratory end of the spectrum vs the hands-on tranquilizing Alaskan Moose side (working with microscopes and chemistry just as much, if not more than with animals. You could also move in a medical direction). If possible, get at least a B.S. in something more specific, like Fisheries and Wildlife Biology, Zoology, or Ecology. A B.S. will allow you to do hands-on field work, but it probably won't allow you to be the man in charge or give you the ability to conduct your own research. A M.S. allows you more freedom and gives you access to higher ranked positions, and the Ph.D. allows access to still higher positions and gives you the opportunity to guide your own research, provided you're good at grant writing. However, generally the higher the position, the more field work gets replaced with paperwork. The key to getting a good job is to get field experience with internships and volunteerism. That stuff is resume gold.

There are jobs available in the private sector, as well as state agencies and federal agencies like the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Forest Service (by far the largest employer in the field).
