Are there any jobs/careers that I can get in biology that do not require grad school? Do I need grad school to be qualified for a well - paying job?

I am skeptical about grad school due to the additional costs on top of paying for university tuition. #college #graduate-school #biology #job #career #science

Anne’s Answer

"Biology" is a big field. You could could work in a lab performing analysis on all types of specimens. Lab biologists work in hospitals, in universities, for the federal and local governments, etc. Sometimes you can even work as a lab scientist without a 4-year degree if you have enough credits and perhaps a certificate. You could also work in environmental, wildlife or fisheries biology and have a job where you work outside. There are many career options for biologists.

Anne recommends the following next steps:

Decide what area of biology seems the most interesting to you and research the types of careers you could have in that field.
Research salaries in that area of biology. You can google all this information.
Research the colleges and community colleges in your region that have a major in the biological field you're interested in. Some CCs have certificate programs that can get you a job without a 4-year degree. If money is an issue, find local schools that have your major, but lower tuition.
