Question about Biology, Environmental Science majors / careers?
I'm a junior (11th grade) in highschool, and I know I really have to start thinking about college, careers, and the future. All of that fun stuff. Basically what I've come to is getting interested in becoming a environmental scientist (the job outlook is pretty high, so is the income, and it seems to be a pretty solid field). Now would it be better to major in the broad science of environmental science itself, or to major in something more fine tuned like biology? And if I do major in biology or environmental science, which is more appealing to becoming an environmental scientist? Also, what exactly can I expect when going for these majors? Is there a lot I should already know from highschool science/biology/chem./physic classes, or do they start you from the beginning. I have a stressful personality type, and I haven't really been able to find these answers anywhere online, so any help is appreciated! <3
What are some options for a biology student other than medicine after class 12 in India?
Not all students who choose Medical stream as a career option after 12th pcb stream wish to become doctors or dentists. In Indian society, it is an auto assumed scenario. If a child opts for 12th science stream (PCB), society starts to believe and see them as future doctors. Due to this false impression, in most of the cases, students are forced to appear for medical entrance exams even if they don’t wish to. Sometimes, it is misleading as students themselves also start believing that they must become a doctor, or dentist. Lack of professional guidance results into disasters as when students realize that they are just running behind the crowd, they have already lost good amount of time.Here, I am shifting the focus from MBBS and BDS to “OTHER CAREER OPTIONS in LIFE SCIENCES” and listing out some of the possible career options for 12th Science Stream students who like to study life sciences but do not wish to become doctors.Students with Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at 10+2 can opt for career in Life Sciences. If you are choosing career in Life Science, then some of the courses that can be considered for graduation are: 1. Bachelor courses (B. Sc.) in core Life Science subjects, that include specialization in Zoology, Botany, Geology, Microbiology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Biomedical engineering, Genetics or Page on b.sc General.2. Bachelor courses in Applied sciences: Biotechnology, Forensic Sciences and criminology, Bioinformatics3. Bachelor course in Pharmacy (B Pharma)4. Bachelor of Science : Nursing5. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture: Agricultural Meteorology, Agronomy6. Bachelor of Science in Food Technology7. Bachelor of Science in Forestry and Wood Technology8. Bachelor of Science in Industrial Fish and Fisheries9. Bachelor of PhysiotherapyFor more details on College and Course Information you might like to read- Career Options in Life Sciences after 12thJob Prospects and Career Options in Life Sciences
I love biology. Career choices?? (:?
There are schools that offer BS degrees in Cell biology and genetics or some variation thereof. Unfortunately, the painful part is that you will learn way more genetics and a lot more chemistry. DNA and its workings are almost entirely chemical and therefore to understand how it works you have to take up to Organic Chemistry. You have to understand bonds, types of bonds, positive and negative charges, etc. Pretty much anything to do with biology, once you get out of high school, requires chemistry. However, if you really want to do it, you can tough out those classes, because the end result is worth it. You might enjoy a job in genetic research or epigenetics (which is a VERY new field), cell physiology, animal physiology, entomology, microbiology, or genetic counseling. I highly recommend that you speak with your biology professor and get his or her thoughts on this. Also, start researching the colleges in your state that are research institutions (most states have at least one) or surrounding states. Many of them have summer programs for high school students. Best of luck!
Why is biological science bad?
There is this yahoo top contributor that keep saying biological science major will only get you a job cleaning rat cages! Im got accept to UC davis as a biological science major and 37% of all the other freshman applicants are also biological science. Does that mean athe 37% of us which is about 8k people will only get job cleaning rat cages?
